Has this really been a problem for over 30 years? If so, have the "powers that be" been TRYING to get people to come back to the track the entire time? .

The short answer is 'yes.' And the 'graying' of the spectators has been a worry, as well, for forever. Of course, the fact that most people work on weekday afternoons so that retired people will make up more than their share of the crowd on those days was never mentioned. The Jockey Club types and track management types have very limited vision about what to do about interesting more people in the sport and always have.
