They didn't kill them...they just never sold very well. They are still available and being updated for Europe.
As you say, they serve a purpose but that purpose largely doesn't exist in the USA. Their primary purpose is to be able to park in a tiny spot.
Following the 2019 model run, they totally exited the US market.

I have a small folding trailer. I don't feel like a second class citizen. It works for me and that's all that matters. None of my camper buys have been an upgrade - they've just been what worked at the time.
If someone calls it little? Well it is. If someone calls it cozy? Well it is. Why take offense at the truth?
We moved from a tent to that 2nd class in '04. And we still use it.
Setting up for a month as campground host, another host asked if we would stay in that little thing. I explained that when working I would spend couple weeks at a time in a 5X8 camper, the 7X24 was no issue.
But OTOH, we camp. Most of our time on the site is outside.

Kind of like some of the questions we get about our Smart car, it IS a small Mercedes believe it or not.
