Are Orchids as a hobby shrinking or is it just AOS?

I don't have raw data, but I can provide anecdotes :-).
My wife and I purchased significantly less orchid related things
in the past 14 months.

But my parents have discovered no-name cymbidiums and are looking at which
ones thrive in the heat on the patio in central North Carolina.
