I've noticed that Firefox, Chrome and Thunderbird all now have their own
viewers for PDFs.

Is everyone trying to eliminate the relevance of Adobe Acrobat Reader?

I don't think so because the PDF readers included in browsers only
provide very basic functionality.

Sadly, the proprietary Adobe products will stay on many business
computers to fill out forms etc.

I use Pale Moon that doesn't include a PDF reader.
I use xpdf as PDF reader.

Nope, just adding more features.

What is wrong with Adobe? Do you dislike them?

Yes, I do.
I don't like their concept of proprietary software. They now don't sell
their software anymore like years ago, they provide a rent model. That
means that Adobe's products need to connect to Adobe's servers to work.
I don't like that behavior.
Also Adobe Reader doesn't support Linux anymore and Adobe Acrobat
didn't IIRC, so I need to use Windows to use their products. I'd have
to pay for using Windows and I also don't like newer Windows versions,
in my opinion MS restricts me as a user a way too much.
