This is nothing new, episodes centering around Arthur were declining years before Season 21 was even thought of.

After season 5, the decline started happening. There are some recent seasons where more episodes were centered around Arthur, but at best it's only a few episodes.

There is only so much you can do with one character, before you have to find another character to center around with.

Buster (huge example), Francine, Brain, Binky, Molly, Prunella, George, Carl, Sue Ellen, Rattles, Ladonna, Bud, etc. have replaced or supplemented Arthur over the years as the center roll of the show.

Arthur is pretty much a fill in character for the show at this point. Even then, there are episodes where Arthur isn't even needed in, When Carl Met George is an example of that.
