....no, it's not dead.
think most are marketed as a 27.5+, yeah it's a 27.5 rim but the diameter of the wheel with tires make them close to a 29" wheel. Which is why many can fit both wheel sizes.
For many a regular 2.2" tire would drop the BB too much and contribute to significantly more pedal strikes
