People are moving away from plastic containers for food. Cheap disposable Glad and Rubbermaid containers also made a huge dent in their business.

Rubbermaid makes better tupperware than Tupperware does.

Since PFAS and PFOS is basically in all food container packaging these days, I've switched to using glass containers for everything I can. Pyrex if I can manage it.
