Java applets involved running an actual JVM on every client computer, which meant basically doubling the risk surface of the browser... plus you had a completely different UI (that couldn't match the browser UI) sitting inside a web page.
I confess I wrote a bunch of Java applets back in the day; but I can't say I'm surprised they died, and I don't think they'll be back.
