Very true, I did not know that.
Lots of big names have converted entirely to compacts however, and have many less sizes (probably to save on production costs). A good example is Giant, I'm under the impression that all their new road bikes are compacts.
EDIT: some of their bikes actually have 5 sizes available instead of 4.
