I don't think major manufacturers ever will make them. We'll continue to get one-off kickstarter-esque fringe phones that'll keep the most devout Luddite happy and the rest of us will buy what we are offered whether we want a dumb phone or not.

There is Fairphone,Volla and Pine64.

I know and consider those to be squarely on the fringe.

Prepaid flip phones still exist.
