The same reason why after nearly a decade of huge success, Donna Summer fell flat at around the same time. It wasn't just Diana whose fortunes in her recording career suddenly went cold. The reason why Tina, Cher, Barbra and Patti were able to get by is because their labels were smarter in marketing them for a time. RCA and Geffen, least in Donna's situation, didn't help their divas.
