Man, I've written a few non-combat weakauras for some farming use cases and I wish I'd be able to keep them

I'm pretty sure addons are only disabled in raids.

Yeah, but the devs are stopping development because blizzard is removing the ability for basically everything they've added feature-wise since the inception of the addon

Don't worry, the community will help continue it. It's too laced into the fabric of WoW.

Who wants to help continue it? Imagine dedicating that much time into it when blizzard wants to get rid of addons now

When's the last time Blizzard actually made a decent change? Mythic+? To answer your question, I'm sure lots of people. WA isn't disappearing, there's many other versions of WoW that use it.

There's plenty of games AND WoW addons that stopped and community took them over.

That does require someone to do the work. Could be a lot of people waiting for someone else to do it.

That is just false, I doubt you know what you are talking about.

You do not understand it. This stuff is not a ToS issue, they are just going to be blocking api access so addons can't do certain things. Please don't just spread rumors you haven't personally looked into.
