Why would any retailer stock a shortwave radio in this
day-and-age?

even in this day and age, shortwave radio is still the only way for radio
listeners to get the radio news directly from other countries, or to
directly
hear each country's opinions about world events from the countries
theirselves.

Absolutely agree, there is still a place for shortwave despite the internet.
