Not sure if the coaches or Mahomes himself, the tackles or defenses have adjusted and are playing him that way to take away that part of his game. But being a traditional pocket QB isn't his game.

That doesn’t work unless the offense is effective in rhythm and threatening the whole field at all times. That’s partly why the rolling out isn’t working right now. He’s doing it before giving the play a chance to develop.
