In short as the world is changing and technology dependece become a must, the nature type of war itself evolve. But as we see today many countries went to smaller type warship for some reasons. Frigate become more popular then destroyer, who knows there might be a time when our own 28m KAL might shine well in a certain situation with the right equiptmen off course
Keep in mind whether one is called a "Frigate" or "Destroyer" is subjective. A lot of the Frigates in European navies can be classified as Destroyers under the US Naval system in terms of size and capabilities. Also, the trend with global power navies is actually moving towards bigger ships. The US Navy's Large Surface Combatant is designed to be bigger than the 16.000 ton Zumwalt-Class Destroyer. (For context, the Zumwalt-Class rivals the Pennsylvania-Class Battleships of WWII)
