At least for me, it's a question of quality over quantity. And I suspect that with the number of high-quality restaurants compared to a decade or two ago (as well as higher-quality ingredients and prepared foods in grocery stores), there are many other people who would prefer to have something delicious rather than mountains of mostly mediocre food at a buffet restaurant.
I will admit that I make the exception for the lunch buffet at Indian restaurants ...
Indian buffets I've been to always seem to have fewer options to choose from, and less of each option out and prepared. I would like to think that it means each option has higher quality ingredients and preparation, and is fresher.
