We have a system of intellectual property rights by which media goes out of print, offline, into more limited release, into expensive collector markets etc., all the time. That a book like And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, originally published in 1937, has gone out of print seems very commonplace and unexceptional. Many Dr. Seuss books are still in print.
I care a lot that material is available in libraries and archives and eventually in the public domain. It seems the six Dr. Seuss books that went out of print in 2021 are available in libraries and archives somewhere, and will enter the public domain later this century (and then anyone will be able to reprint or adapt them).
