That is not reality, it is your future prediction.
The reality is that 27.5 has lost market share, but is still pretty well represented, and new 27.5 bikes continue to be released. And bought.
As far as 27.5+.... As far as I can tell, after a correction in the over-enthusiastic bubble, interest in and availabilty of 27.5+ has been remaining pretty consistent for the past few years.
THAT is the reality.
That the above is somehow indicative of them “fading away” - which implies a fate similar to 26 - is conjecture.
