They are developing a Touhou game set to be released in 2022.
It's unclear whether it will be official or 二次創作 (derivative).

Their expectations were also too high for the PC market. I think Mushi did well enough, it had a low price point and is pretty accessible. DFK is where they stumbled. It was their big hyped release and they probably expected it to do gangbusters because it's a DDP game and people have been begging for DDP ports since forever. But DFK was expensive, it's inaccessible as hell and it's probably the weakest in the series. Nobody except Cave devotees are going to jump on that.

They general force you to stream more, but it's high-speed streaming so it doesn't feel bad. It does however punish you if you don't know where the big enemies will spawn, since you have to re-stream to change direction. It's a very arcade-friendly design, since it kills you until you've memorized spawns and how to do specific re-streams. Dunno if this is what you meant?
Good Touhou stages generally achieve the same fast movement across the screen by encouraging you to speedkill enemies left and right, but the only punishment for not speedkilling is usually just that the big enemy itself gets to fill the screen with bullet, so it's not as unfriendly when you enter blind.

Good shmup level design is about pushing the player around the stage and making them prioritize certain targets while under duress. It's the area Touhou games tend to be severely lacking in so it's not really a surprise if you find an arcade (and particularly Cave games) feel more stressful in that regard, since even 1ccing is going to require you to actually learn the layouts instead of just winging it.

Practice, practice, practice
The biggest thing to accept is that Cave shumps are not 2hu shumps, they're largely much more aggressive and need to be approached in their own way. Same way as say Strikers 1945 is it's own beast as well, and needs it's own mindset.
I didn't pick up any cave games beyond DDP before getting in to 2hu, but went back and played a bunch of them in the past few years and it was a serious hurdle but when it finally "clicked" I actually enjoy Cave games more then 2hu by and large anymore.
2hu games are still fantastic, don't get me wrong, they're some of the most consistently good games that I can think of, but Cave's design is just on another level with the best stuff they did.

It blows my mind that there is no modern (PS3/360 and after) port of DoDonPachi. One of the single most notable shumps of them all, and Cave just sits on it, just like they do with most of their IPs.
Futari also has never had a port off of the 360, not counting mobile.

Nah, I think everyone's making as many gachas as quick as they can to see what sticks. The ones that take off are here to stay for a long time. Maybe they can oversaturate to the point where new ones won't get any traction, but the already successful ones have their hooks in people.

I played some Mushihimesama and Espgaluda recently and I kept smoothly going through walls of bullets that look like they are supposed to kill me. It's like most of bullets have hitbox/sprite ratio of Patchouli's kiwi slices. Of course it's nice not to die when edge of my hitbox touched the edge of a bullet, but sometimes patterns just look like there's no gaps for me to dodge.

Bomb away mate. Most cave games give you at least one bomb per stage, and DDP sometimes gives 2 in a single stage. Always strive to use less, but do or die they're meant to be used. Going bomb-less in most Cave games is substantially harder then going bomb-less in Touhou.
IMO shump youtube videos (particularly featuring Touhou) put people in a bad mind set to always try to not bomb when most shumps want you to make use of the utility.
Always strive to use less, but don't be afraid to pull that trigger either.

Modern Cave is basically on life support only making gachas and (failing) to make ports. So whether they're alive or not is up to debate.
