I feel your pain. What you are saying is also true of rifle scopes. Go and try to find a compact scope today that will fit on a long action. The new tactical styled scopes made today do not have the mounting space that the old scopes did. It's also hard to find a scope that has just a duplex. I don't need a scope that is illuminated and has the mil dots. I'm not saying they should stop making the newer stuff but continue to offer some of the older simpler stuff as well.
