I seem to remember some adage involving"......an infinite number of monkeys..."

German firms see things differently. Try getting parts for a '70s Ducati (or almost any Alfa) if you want a parallel. Not many motor vehicle manufacturers care much about supplying parts for their products after just a few years, and there's a much greater economy of scale than in bicycle bits.
