things go into moritorium because of manufacturing costs. This is true for books, CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs and even other durable goods.
Because I want an original 1984 128k macintosh to have my kids "experience" what I did doesn't leave the manufacturer beholden to continue to manufacture it. I like the Z3, I don't want a used one, but that's what I'll have to buy because they don't make new ones anymore.
Same holds true for media.
