Usually the tail end of legacy systems are adequately supported by new-old-stock for quite a while.
e.g. 3.5" floppies are 40 years old, were obsolete 25 years ago, went out of production 15 years ago, and are just about ready to deplete their stock today. Yes, there are flash-to-floppy adapter, and a similar thing may happen for SATA, but we may not see that as a necessity until 2050.
