Sorry, I thought the statement was referring only to Beehive terminals.
As someone who started computing with serial terminals and has started
collecting them in the past couple of years I'm noticing that they
don't appear too often on ebay or for offer on this or the rescue
list.
For instance, consider the wide range of manufacturers and terminal
features described here:

(I happen to know Nelson Beebe who wrote these reviews; he is probably
the most knowledgable TeXpert in Utah.)
How many of the companies mentioned there still exist? Some, but none
of the ones mentioned still make terminals...

I would go
further and say that terminals themselves are becoming
extremely rare.
Yes, that's what was just said, Hmmm...
