Firewire has always been rarer hardware.   USB3 has provided an alternative
but really it isn't that cause of FW's disappearance, at least in as far as
audio/video hardware etc. is concerned.  PCI-E on the desktop and
Thunderbolt surprisingly seems to be doing a better job of that with
product announcements lately.
