Yeah this was explained very well. They didn't just disappear into thin air, they were gradually weakened over a few seasons before ultimately being wiped out by the Boltons. I guess we could have gotten a few lines explaining if there are any Storm Lords left and who is currently controlling Storm's End but it's not really relevant to the story.

Comparing how the Baratheon Army destruction occurred with how the destruction of Dany's Army is currently occurring is a good example of the drop off in writing in later seasons.
