I think I know why "sad trombone" (and any melody that descends like that) is sad .
I was awake listening to my wife snore and, as her breath slowed down (she must have been going into a deeper sleep phase), the pitch of the snore got lower and lower.
What if we instinctively associate decreasing pitch with person's breath slowing down, eventually to stop?

A lot of kids had homemade Halloween costumes, but we always got these sweaty plastic things. It was just cold enough on Halloween that our breath would condense inside those plastic masks. I can still feel the icky. Some people gave out chocolate, some people gave out fruit, and some even gave out candy corn. I don't believe I ever met anyone who would eat the candy corn.

Theory: the rise of YouTube gamers has kind of ruined new games, especially sequels.
Nintendo saw countless hours of YouTubers horsing around in Breath of the Wild, so they made a sequel built entirely about horsing around in the same world with a bunch of goofy sandbox toys, rather than giving us a proper adventure/exploration/puzzle game.
Team Cherry saw YouTubers get incredibly skilled at precision combat in Hollow Knight, so they made Silksong all about precision…

I Pity the Poor Immigrant /
I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would've stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death
