+1 SRAM never offered a triple crank and Shimano and Campy have discontinued all of their road triples. They seems to be doing the same with MTB/Trekking cranks and have never offered a Gravel triple. In fact the current fad is for 1X so even doubles are endangered.

I have FC-5703 (105) triple cranks on two bikes and FC-4603 (Tiagra) triples on two others. Seeing the way things were going, a couple of years ago I found two NOS FC-5703 cranks for sale at attractive prices at couple of on-line shops I bought them both. They are sitting on my parts shelf waiting for they day they are needed.
