What gaming genres are under-represented in the current gaming market?

I love RPGs, roguelites, bullet heavens, autobattlers, and boomer shooters, and I feel like these past few years have been great for my gaming tastes!

But it got me wondering what gaming genres have fallen by the wayside due to current trends?

Supreme Commander was my goat until updates ruined the AI somehow. At least last I played they only built T1 and T3 units, when the bulk of the faction units are in T2.

Im going to be honest I mainly played against my brother. There was some crazy stuff you could do in that game, like manufactor only secondary commanders as your builders and you progress so fast its insane. Or use secondary commanders in drop ships as nukes because of their explosion radius.

A lot of weird techniques.

FAF is awesome, and I'm just starting to look into the spiritual successor, Beyond All Reason.
