Jainism isn’t ‘barely’ alive. It is doing decently well.
It has always had relatively few adherents. But Jains as a community are quite influential and Jain ethos like vegetarianism and mercantilism are shared by a number of other closely related communities.

Jainism, like Indian Buddhism, was a much bigger thing in the middle ages than now. But you are right, I don't think Jainism is endangered.
