You don't actually need a whip to drive a buggy. You use the reins, and some voice commands. If you use a whip, you're probably bad at it. This whip is specific for racing, where you do need to communicate with more than just the reins. But if you're Amish, or driving tourists around Central Park, you almost certainly do not want a whip.
There are still many other whips for equine sports, and for herding. But buggy whips are perhaps an even narrower niche than you might expect. They were always rare, even when buggies were a practical way to get around.
