I just did a little research as I was curious as to why you would write that given the almost ubiquitous presence of the protocol: Indeed dlna.org, which was the non-profit organization behind defining the standard, dissolved as of January 2017 with a statement saying they had fulfilled their mission. However, the guidelines and test tools are still freely available on their site, and the certification program is still very much active. Also, UPnP is now being handled by the
Open Connectivity Foundation.
According to some figures I've come across, there are over 6 billion DLNA certified devices in use as of 2017. So, I don't think we can call it abandoned just yet...
