My guess would be that the Thousand Years of Peace meant that the Colicoids lost a considerable chunk of their trade from the decreased need and/or outlawing of combat-oriented droid production. In the real world, military production and R&D contracts are lucrative business, so I suspect that also holds true in Star Wars; even as early as the Old Republic era.

If you have to make a deal with one, go with the Nemodians.

Because they were. Droidekas debuted in 1999 in Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, and I remember reading about colicoids in the associated visual dictionary that I had. On the droideka page they mentioned they were created by an insectoid race called colicoids and that they were relatively unknown to most of the galaxy, but those that did know of them absolutely loathed them. There were no pictures of colicoids to be found of course, so it was pretty apparent that the droidekas were created first for the movie, and the colicoids were just a cool-sounding name given to a species that designed them as background lore.

I don't think it's a subversion, more a closer look at what contributed to their fall. Remember that the Jedi were manipulated into an impossible situation by 1000 years of the Sith Grand Plan under the Rule of Two. They were still a noble order in their last days, but they made the mistake of believing that they served the people of the Republic by serving its government. Unfortunately only Dooku and Qui-Gon seem to have truly grasped this, but Qui-Gon was slain before he could affect change in the Order and Dooku fell to the dark.
