Why did this die out?

Probably because monitors started shipping with their own power adapters and consume next to no power in standby.
People abused it for evil purposes and used it for powering hacker tools instead of monitors.
Manufacterers saving money.
Hardware used to be well built.

I hope you seriously don't leave your monitors turned on when your computer is off
Because only apple and their dvi/USB/power abomination named ADC did it right.
i hope monitors get rid of external power cables now that usb c is a thing
