What happened to the adventure books for boys and men that used to be so prevalent once upon a time? Did they get replaced by other media? Pushed out by female domination? Dropped by big companies for all the typical political reasons?

Basically the YA market for teenage boys no longer exists. You will not find a book with a male protagonist older than 12. At that point they either stop reading or jump to adult books.
Most YA is all female dominated. A large portion of this is because the average reader of YA is women in their 30s and 40s. The same crowd that reads romance novels reads YA.
