Where have all the stair-climbers gone?

I travel frequently (on average, 2-3 times a month) for work, and I'm always eager to see what fun stuff is available in each hotel's fitness room. It just hit me yesterday that I haven't seen a stair-stepper/stair-climber in...ages. Like, years. Not even just hotel gyms, but all gyms in general. I think the last time I saw one was at a Planet Fitness in 2016.

Every place I've been has treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals galore, but never any stair machines. They were always my favorite back in the day. Nothing like the ham+glute burn from a good stair climb.

Any insight as to why stair-climbers have vanished from gyms and fitness centers? Liability? Cost? Maintenance? Just "out of style"?
