Primarily because it's become infinitely easier to avoid. I don't think I've printed much beyond sheet music in the last decade, and even that was trivially replaceable by a small tablet in situations where I didn't have a Kinko's nearby.
Bought my brother laser printer in 2019. Zero maintenance zero worrying about the INK DRYING OUT (wtf) and my wife can print from the LAN or her phone. I've done zero tech support so that makes it worth every penny. To me it's a solved issue try it!
Bought my Brother laser printer in... 2017? The laser printing aspect is great[0], but I can count on one hand the number of times network printing has worked. I've completely changed network hardware a few times since then, so I'm pretty sure it's the printer.
