I do agree, and in my opinion 4 are the main reasons:

Sometimes I act like crazy, but they're kms ahead me. I never adopt a stable product (vB3), to build something that just looks like a forum (vB4).
As you said, more players in the field
vBulletin became a Share in Silicon Valley. Grow the price and sell it. If the author is not present, then anything else is just Business.
FACEBOOK. Bad but true. Have got a big part of the field.

As for vB5. Soon I'll see people who bought it to install ...vB3
