You must be looking in the wrong places to think Grin is dead. Grin is about to undergo a significant upgrade in its 4th pre-planned hardfork [1] in about 2 weeks, has an active forum [2], and live chat groups [3] in addition to telegram and discord channels, and a weekly newsletter [4].
Meanwhile, Zcash is far from challenging Grin's benefits of lacking a mining tax (recently extended from the original 4 years to 8 years), having a simple long term viable emission, relying on far simpler and better understood cryptography, and an order of magnitude smaller chainsize for the same amount of transactions.
Not to mention that about 99% of all ZCash transactions lack any privacy, and still rely on a trusted setup to prevent hidden inflation.
It seems easier for Grin to reduce input-output linkability and thereby erode ZCash' single remaining benefit.
