A lot of stuff in the catalog seems to be a case of "We can make this if we receive a large OEM order". The rotary shift 3 speed was listed for a couple of years before finally becoming available.
Bikesdirect lists a complete bike with the newest 5 speed hub and the 5 speed bar end shifter so they do exist.
