Is Ada's market share really diminishing?  It's never been huge,
compared to (say) C, but my impression is that it's slowly
increasing.  AdaCore is doing well, for example.

I don't know how to reliably measure it, though.
Do you have any concrete evidence?

I don't have any hard evidence one way or the other.
