There's been considerable pressure to drop standards for things we're all
free to implement and reuse. RSS too is (in the untrustworthy corporate
tech media) said to be less popular now but undergoing a rediscovery.
I imagine this happens in favor of some futile attempt to make private
areas of influence and control. Some people readily give into those
pressures citing a circular popularity argument if they don't give in
(they'll lose "relevance" or somehow become less popular if they don't
concede to a publisher/redistributor's power). Principled arguments need
not apply.
But large audio program distributors don't make it easy to publish RSS
feeds (some don't publish RSS feeds at all). Such is what happens with a
largely undereducated populace making decisions based on convenience, price
(weighed exclusively monetarily), and the perception of popularity
evaluated in their media bubbles.
