Where have all of the non-grip sticks gone?

Where have all of the non-grip sticks gone?! I've been out of the game for about 5 years and haven't bought a stick in about 7 years and couldn't help but notice almost every stick in the shop was a grip stick last night. Since im getting back into the game and need a new stick am I going to have to suck it up and buy a grip stick? Sorry to be the "back in my day" guy lol, but I was shocked to not be able to find any non grip sticks.

What have I missed in the past 5+ years where everything has gone to a grip stick? New revelations about performance? I also need new gloves, have they adjusted the material in the palms to accommodate the new grip sticks?

I mentioned this to the proshop employee and he kinda just laughed it off and said he thinks it might just be another marketing gimmick but I find that hard to believe.

Likely over time sales numbers showed low demand for non-grip sticks and they went away.
