To be fair, it's hard to take any storyline seriously after the far-reaching ramifications of Endgame . Especially if it's from a "bottle" (read: self-contained) quest.
I agree that it was rather unexpected but we still haven't had any confirmation of what's happened with that ramification nearly 2 years on. Quite sad really.
We'll see when the Elder God story progresses. I'm actually glad there was a lull, because it'd be wildly OOC for Sliske to seek instant gratification after culminating his master plan for centuries, if not millennia.
I think the Elder God quests will be very interesting. Remember, Jas says they will destroy Gielinor if we can't prove our worthiness. It hints on the Elder God is experimenting something important and we are the subjects. Also, these new quests should unveil how the Dragonkins got tangled up with Jas and were eventually enslaved.
Perhaps the Elder Gods haven't found the results they want from the Kins, and now it is the World Guardian and Gielinorians' turn to carry the torch.

"The root of the problem
One can think of various reasons why we are getting less quests (note that this is all speculation, albeit well-reasoned).
First of all, quests take up a lot of resources. Especially now, where quests often have us visit new places that have to be unique. Rite of Passage is extremely expensive according to Mod Jack, and I imagine Fate of the Gods will also have been since Freneskae had an all new non-recycled environment. According to Mod Osborne, five (I believe, may be wrong, but definitely five-ish) quests are usually in development at any given time and quests can take quite a while to make. (up to a year - but that's very rare and only for the WGS's out there really)
Additionally, other large projects also require a large budget, which may well inhibit quest release. Think RuneScape 3 or Prifddinas - these had/have a very large team of developers, designers, Quality Assurance testers, artists, etc. working on them, who would then be unable to work on quests."
The "customers" can demand one thing, but whether the company has the time, resources and budget is another.
Last but not least, one of the Jagex content development team is working on a quest already. It probably will come out this year.
============================================================
This is how I have told you would happen already. When the "customers" wanted "only" 14 quests in 2014 and did not get them... you should have the idea on the same situation that hasn't changed to Jagex.
At least, the "customer" in 2014 appeared to be understanding although disappointed.
