It seems to be a recent (last 5-7 years?) trend from what I can tell. I agree that forums are much better and more organised for community discussions, but generations seem to drive these things. I'm in some Discord communities, but just get lost amongst all the channels and regularly miss "big" announcements and news. Discord seems to require a lot more of your active attention, versus forums permitting passive "check ins" every few hours or days.
