Do you know if there is a particular reason they were basically phased out? Although like you said - not entirely.

Why are they no longer so popular?
I suspect because the catalytic liner slowly degrades over time, and can struggle with heavy greasy deposits.
Also pyrolytic is the flavour of the month. People shopping for a self-cleaning oven are generally searching out pyrolytic these days.
There are still some new ones around - Beko for example, though I'm not sure if they sell them in USA. Beko have several models with catalytic back wall only, this one has catalytic back and side walls:

Any idea how they made the coating? Presume they add something to the porcelain slurry to make it cure/melt porous rather than glassy.
Had an aunt that had a continuous clean oven that decided to clean itself when she was making Thanksgiving dinner (i.e. got hot enough long enough to actually oxidize). It stank--still remember that odor. Blech....and in the middle of cooking for the family.

I'm trying to remember. I was so young... Like I said, my grandma cooked a lot. My aunt had a self-cleaning oven and I remember my grandma (we used to call her Meme) and she would say "this is not a self-clean it's a continuous clean... I remember thinking "what's the difference" She didn't know....but I remember looking in the oven and the worst it ever looked over the years was that it sort of looking like it could use a vacuuming out from maybe a few crumbs here and there...but it never looked deteriorated or stained and she had that thing for years...In other words, if you ran a vacuum cleaner to get the crumbs out, it would have looked new
