Are the newer Softails smaller?
Was in a local dealer lately to get small parts (never stops...) and sat on a 2016 and a new 2018 Heritage. I own a 2000. Is it just me, and possibly my big seat, but both those bikes felt smaller than mone. Shorter and narrower. I asked the sales guy and got the shoulder shrug.

As for them being smaller......the answer is yes and no!
I have the 2018 Softail Fat Bob. The bike is physically 2" shorter than my 2014 Fat Bob, but the wheelbase is actually a quarter inch longer. The older bike had 2" of fender overhang at the rear.
The 2018 is also about a quarter inch higher at the seat.
