I prefer 26" because of quicker handling and acceleration,plus no toe overlap.

I wouldn't say defunct,there are many bikes out there that were 26",and there are still a decent assortment of tires and wheels. 650B was defunct,then came back,so it's not out of the realm of possibility that 'they' won't rediscover 559 and it'll become the hot new thing.
