The argument is that catatonia, among other types of schizophrenia, have become much less common since the 1940's or 1950's, not because of treatment, but because of some change in the causative factors of schizophrenia, esp. more disabling forms of schizophrenia.

There's a lot of debate about what those causes are, or whether they could have changed, or whether the rate of schizophrenia is stable from society to society or in different historical periods.

I've also heard it claimed that catatonia exists, but is less recognized, or talked about.

Plus I never suggested in any way that any form of depression, psychosis, or other mental disorders shouldn't be treated.
