Ummm every single measure says that statement is true.

Every single measure except the universities and employers taking on these kids,
for whom these qualifiactions were devised?

They're not saying and never have said there's a decrease in overall intelligence.
They're saying it's hard to find the top few percent themselves.

Fair enough.
I find it hard to believe, but if that's what the stats say, there's no point arguing.

Your IQ point is valid but for the wrong reason.
It's designed so that the average is always 100. So every time it's redone the boundaries change so the average score will always be 100.
If you do an IQ test from 1950ish, the current average is about 120
