The Witcher: why are there no Trials of the Grass anymore?
In the game series, while Jen puts Uma through the Trial of the Grass, Vesemir tells us that it's the first trial for 50 years. Also all the Witchers are not very happy about all of this mess.
So why are there no trials anymore? Is it so rare? Don't they see themselves as a necessary evil (monster hunting)? Is it connected with the reason why the different schools vanish?
I know the games are not canon, but the game only cover about 10 years, so it seems this "problem" already existed before.

There were no more Trials of the Grasses due to several factors:
The general public considered witchers monsters, and did not want their children to become witchers, which considerably lowered the number of candidates available for the schools to perform the Trial on.
Only 3 in 10 survived the Trials, severely reducing the number of of people who became witchers.
The recipe was kept secret, and was lost when Kaer Morhen was attacked. Since the games are not canon, they were able to get the recipe through Yennifer.
With few people joining, even fewer surviving to the end, the dangerous job, society making life generally difficult, and the secrecy around the recipe, there were few people who knew how to perform the Trials completely. This made it easy to lose the information, which it was, when Kaer Morhen was attacked.
If I remember correctly from The Witcher 3, Ciri was the last person to train as a witcher at Kaer Morhen, but never went through the Trials.
