Between us, it's also most likely due to the technological advancement in weaponry, which makes titans no longer the absolute power that used to be.
The latest episode shows the end of this war, which lasted 4 years, that saw the victory of Marley, but also made painfully evident that the age of the uncontested military superiority of the titans is about to end.
And that's why Marley more than ever now seeks the power of the founding titan (because apparently they still have a ton of enemies).
We haven't seen yet what happened to the walled nation, where the story original began, after all those years, but the last few seconds of the episode give a hint.
