It doesn't sound like 'shutting down'...rather cutting unprofitable product lines they don't sell enough of to justify their existence economically. It could also be the massive impact of Human Malware on logistics ans supply chains.
For example I had a chat trying to get Shimano Di2 GRX derailleurs today....Evidently Shimano has been missing delivery targets to suppliers in the USA for months. Inventory that was supposed to come in September still isn't here...and just today Shimano sent out an email saying that inventory arriving this week was pushed back to December 15th....and the retailer I spoke to had no faith it would actually be delivered. And that is Shimano---who is many times bigger and more profitable than Wahoo/Speedplay.
