That’s where the oxygen went as olivine degrades quickly and there was little olivine brought to the surface when the crust was increasingly composed of granite. Oxygen was not taken out of the atmosphere in as great an amount as earlier. There is still plenty of olivine in the mantle.

According to the article it disappeared. It does not say that it diminished in quantity. I’ll take your word for it though.
