There's an increase in recent years of ham gear Retailers offering an
expanding amount of citizen band radios and related products.

So Retailers have seen the changes in the type of people that are
making up and will be making up the US ham population, and have modified
their inventories and marketing to stay in step with it.

Gotta keep selling them radio's, Ten-Four?

Well years back there were CB STORES everywhere, and places like Sears
and Wards sold CB's, not anymore. Someone has to sell them.
Very litle interest in CB these days, however its the only real way to try and communicate
with other drivers on the road.

My 17 year old RS Optimus speakers gave up the ghost. I went into
a Radio Shack and was told that not only does RS not sell speakers
like that anymore, but speakers with one tweeter plus one mid-range
plus one woofer were not even manufactured anymore and that it
takes half a dozen modular speakers to set up a system nowadays.

I went over to Fry's Electronics and found exactly what I was
looking for from Cambridge Soundworks. The woofer only goes
down to 40 Hz but for my karaoke system, that's good enough.

A microphone, a six-pack, a karaoke system, & you're a star. :-)

Another definite advantage to CW, I suppose. With SSB there's no
telling when you might hear something that could make your head explode.
