But none of these things are mandatory and there are alternatives to each.

From another comment:

I interpret it in a broader sense. Recently I tried to test a mechanical keyboard to see if I would like it. The small local shop did not have any (understandably), so I went to MediaMarkt and they didn't have any either. It seems that since everyone is ordering stuff online, the physical shops only have stock for very generic stuff.

So... the convenience that everyone was demanding (being able to order anything) is now mandatory for me.

Of course, it's just first world problems in my case.

That applies mainly to Amazon.

Funnily enough that's more or less the opposite in germany. Amazon used to be good and had everything but now it's flooded with cheap chinese garbage. Some products you won't even find and if you find it it's often fairly expensive.
My last two mechanical keyboards I bought were from MediaMarkt and ComputerUniverse. The Mediamarkt one I even got in a local shop at a reduced price because it was the display model. In general the local shops do have a good product selection here. At Mediamarkt I could try several different mechanical keyboards with various switch types.

This is true in the US as well, but you can find the brand name stuff if you know the exact item you're looking for

There may still be hope :)

I went to my local mall 2 weeks ago and entered through the Best Buy. They had several types of mechanical keyboards with different switches on display, most had a couple keycaps stolen.

I can see the point though, I just don't think it applies everywhere.

Fair enough, as always, your mileage may vary.
