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.
