Saying “year-over-year growth declined” suggests that it still grew, just not as much as the previous year. If it grew 10% one year and 9% the next, that would be a 10% decline in growth.
But like you’ve pointed out, that doesn’t appear to be the case. It seems like X is in decline, so the wording used there is odd, at the very least.

Yeah, it’s like when they talk about economic growth being in decline. Strange double speak of the business world.
As you say, my first thought was they meant slowing growth but that didn’t tally with everything else I’d heard.
