Pretty much this.

Unless someone is a roleplayer, prepping for 6.3 or going through MSQ for the first time/again on an alt, they're most likely not playing right now and haven't been since 6.2/6.25 launch. I think a lot underestimate how many play strictly for story and then dip out till the next story-related patch launches. Low pop is always a thing, especially if the patches themselves aren't giving enough content to keep all playstyles engaged for months at a time.
