Servo was not abandoned, it was setup to act as a proving ground for various techniques, and the things that worked out well were integrated into Firefox. The group was disbanded because they accomplished their initial goals.

At the moment, Mozilla told that they need to "put a crisper focus on new product development and go to market activities" because "economic conditions resulting from the global pandemic have significantly impacted our revenue". I don't think it has achieved its original goal and gracefully disbanded, unless I see any strong evidence that the decision was primarily and independently driven by the Servo/Rust engineering leaders.
