Their gamer phones are overshadowed by RedMagic now. They have their marketable cooling methods and under display camera. Asus would need to match at least. Also every high end Android device maker deciding to no do microSD express. Got to do something better than RedMagic
The combination of hardware features, software features, and build quality were worth the $1200 for the pro over the $800 red magic or $1000 base rog phone.

Interesting, especially because in my research the latest ROG phone had better than the equivalent RedMagic.
What about the price? I had ROG phone 2 before I changed to red magic due to the massive price difference (1500 ROG 8 vs 800 Red magic 9).
It can have all the ‘coolest features ever’ but its not worth almost twice as much as the competitor when the processor is the same

To you? Ok, sure. To many others including me? Nope, not worth 50% price increase.
Could be why they’re not making it anymore, but that’s just a theory.
MSRP on base ROG 8 was 1100
