1- 90 % of option buyers lose money so slowly number of player dry out.
2- In low volatility environment option buyer rarely makes money only writers could but when market is dried up writing does not carry enough premium to justify risk of aggressive writing.
3- We are in one of the longest low volatility bull market ever.
4- Computers are in control they have no emotions to make gyration happen. They buy dips and sell high.
All are my opinions there could be many others.

What Farooq said. Also volume is low because few people understand how to trade them compared to stocks.

I sell options in most cases, and let them expire worthless for max gain.
