Im confused, how did it take so long for long ball to become so irrelevant? When I watch games from 2003 every team just lobs the ball up over and over.

Because after 2010 and football Guardiolization, using long balls became a crime. You need to pass three thousand times and build up from behind.
Long balls are not irrelevant, they just don’t work because people stopped developing tactics around it. It actually works quite well against the tiki taka style, if you have the fast players to make it happen.
