The cable companies can't kill it (the FCC requires them to be made available), and Tivos are still somewhat popular. It's total install base is also likely small enough that it's not worth the effort to kill it.

The FCC hasn't really enforced it well, and under the current administration isn't likely to enforce it at all. As I said, it's easy enough for them to play dumb and act like such cards don't exist and Tivo is an inferior option to their overpriced, nowadays "mandatory" DVR options. Who is going to take them to court for playing dumb?
