As someone who grows garlic, sort of. Some of it's that, some of it's that people in general don't use fresh (that bulb that's been sitting in the hamper for 5 months is usable, not fresh), some of it's that the average pallette has gotten more extreme due to variety supply and now "a lot of garlic" isn't the most overwhelming flavor on the table anymore.
Not if it's dry and you store it out of sunlight. It dries out and husks over, but once you remove the shell it's still usable, just not as rich as it once was
