They aren't just "low" though. A good chunk of developed countries have 1.5 children per woman, that means we're losing 1 people over 4 every generation. Canada is at 1.3, so it's 1 people over 3. The worst one, South Korea, is at 0.68 children per woman, that means that every generation, they will lose 2 out of 3 people.
So far, the birth-rates are still decreasing steadily year after year, and there's no sign it's going to stop soon.
And yes, if you have less and less people every generation, it will eventually
You can't refer to history since no country-size population has ever died out due to low birth rates.
My point was addressing your "Better conditions = birth rates go back up". The first and main reason birth rates started to decrease massively, is because of better health care and conditions (people live longer, and children mortality has massively decreased). All developed countries have very low birth rates, while they all have good if not very good living conditions. Almost all poor countries have very high birth rates, in the contrary.
Finally, the perpetrators of the mass replacement admit their objectives: economic growth. It's that simple. They literally say: "but how will we drive the economy?"
Do you think they are perfect and everything? Do you think they can predict absolutely everything and understand the consequences of each action they take? No, I don't think so. They want money, and chose the short term goal to max their money without care for humanity in the next 50 years.
They pushed feminism so that women enter the job market and reduce wages while increasing the number of consumers (so both reducing cost, and increasing profits), and they probably never thought nor cared if it would collapse birthrates even further.
