I am someone who has found that I’m using Wikipedia less, and I find that I’m relying more on Google than I used to, for what I used to use Wikipedia for. In particular, Featured Snippets in Search (which will often pull an excerpt from a Wikipedia article!) are a fantastic substitute for quick questions that I would, in past years, have asked Wikipedia, although it isn’t a substitute for a deeper exploration.

This sounds very plausible, and my singular data point confirms.
I agree that Featured Snippets is probably the cause of my decreased reliance as well.
