For sure, GSO RC related forum threads are plentiful these days. More people have them as they are financially within the budget of many which as you point out can only be a good thing. You could also read it another way that the quantity of threads are related to people having issues with them. Dodgy factory focuser etc.
The term RC doesn't mean much these days. No different to any other optical instrument type such as refractor and reflector, there are varying degrees of build and optical quality. GSO isn't operating at the high end market so DSI/RCOS, OS, Alluna, Keller/ASA, etc, will continue to exist. I've not heard of any university or military ordering a GSO RC of late. If there was a manufacturer that was having an impact on high end RC sales, it would be Planewave.
