Yeah, I was astounded to recently discover that appears to be the case
that there are apparently _none_ other than for very large industrial
applications any longer available. *(I wasn't needing/wanting
particularly, just curious after somebody else had made the comment and
thought surely they could be had still even though not used much in new
construction.)

I, on the other hand, am not in the least suprised.

If I look at this from a supply and demand perspective, I can't see
enough demand to justify the cost of maintaining a manufacturing line
and/or storage facility for fuse boxes.

If there is an alternative device available (i.e. the circuit breaker
box) that will fit both new construction and upgrades/add-on
situations, it's cheaper to manufacture and store just the one device.
