You're probably right. However there is a big market for quality through hole LEDs in non-mass produced consumer crap (read industrial electronics and test gear for example) so some of the big guys still produce. However when someone picks out a BOM for a production run from Farnell and there's a 0.05 no brand LED and a 0.25 Kingbright through hole, the no brand wins every time.
(says me who just bought 200 for a small prod run). So that's £10 or £50 out of the budget. Thanks to cheap LED guys, I can take my family out for that extra £40 :)
