Gygax and co ran the company into the ground, causing him to lose it. Under new management it survived a very long time, but that management didn't actually know a lot about business so it eventually killed itself. Had TSR's owners actually been a little more interested in cash and a little less focused on the game they might still be around today.

Everything you have listed here is opinion, not fact. I could just as easily post "3.5 & 4th Ed don't have enough miniatures games elements in them, they are too simplistic and a power gamers nightmare (Pathfinder has done a LOT to resolve 3.5's problems by increasing the powergaming elements btw, I heartily recommend it) - fact"... but it would also be an opinion and just as valid as the rubbish you posted.

People still play adventurers who enter dungeons to kill monsters (dragons and otherwise) to take their loot and get xp. Original concept seems intact to me.

On the contrary, the pictures posted are a message intended to convey the posters feelings on the matter. Both images are amusing and effective and I applaud her wit
