A massive power transistor has a much wider market than FRC and a much higher price point.

However with all the interest in drones and places like SuperDroidRobotics selling kits that are FRC size like for plows and snowblowers...the market is growing.

I suspect back in the day when audio receivers were individual power transistors many people also thought they would not be surpassed by integrated modules. Odds are if you tear down a retail home reciever you find modules in plenty of them.
