Well, as many are discussing, Ruger has discontinued (temporarily paused, sure) a number of well-known product lines. Included in this are almost all of their revolvers. The LCR, likely the most wide-spread carry revolver second only to the S&W J Frame, gone. The SP101, the GP100, etc…
Why is Ruger discontinuing these lines? Simple, they are not selling. Ruger is a corporation, not a charity, and if a product is not making money, a corporation will drop it. Why are they continuing to produce the LCP line and the RMX line of autos? Because they sell.
Meanwhile, S&W re-introduced the .45 auto revolver (M1917).

Sure enough. So there must be a market.
