By customer demand

It costs their customers money every time they discontinue a part. Even if it's a like-for-like replacement, their customers will have to update engineering drawings, parts lists, and BOMs.

I am in engineering and avoid suppliers who can't guarantee a product will remain in production long enough to support our expected product life and planned refresh cycle.

In some cases, we end up paying through the nose to keep an old part in production because it's cheaper than redesigning a product around a new one.

It's not just HW, this goes for SW as well.
