Rivens have little to do with the decline of high prices for Prime-Equipment and rare Mods. This happened primarily due to more consistent availability.

Prime equipment has become dependably farmable with the introduction of Void Relics. Also their prices rise a lot slower after vaulting, due to a lot of relics still being in circulation.

As for items from Baro Ki'Teer and -items we have learned pretty well that they will eventually come back around, also more people are stock buying than some time ago resulting in more items being available even Baro isn't around.

Riven Mods have indeed risen to a strong focus for trading and you can think of that what you will, but that didn't affect other stuff. I'd even argue that it has helped keep the prices of other stuff up, since power-farming prime parts isn't the only way to make plat anymore, so less people will focus on that.
