Me and my extended friends circle are pretty burnt out on Stormblood, and yet the number of "active" players has gone up by around 16k since December? Maybe I really am out of touch with this game...

Quality vs quantity, basically. The (Earth) population difference between NA and Japan is enormous which would account for it by itself, but I also feel like NA/EU is infinitely more open to the concept of paying a subscription to use the game as a chatroom/social platform. It felt that way with FFXI, too.
