Nit picking, but there's a bunch of Nissan Chademo still around. Like my Leaf. I'm a bit perplexed that Nissan is still selling new Chademo cars here, since it's on the way out. I very rarely need DC charging though, and there's still lots of Chademo locations if I do. That aside, the Leaf is a wonderful car.

DalasEVRepair on YouTube is testing a Chinese CCS to CHAdeMO adapter. If that ever becomes a reliable product, then NACS to CHAdeMO would be an incremental change.

Convert 50kW by random cheap adapter, it looks like a one of the most dangerous thing.

As a fellow Leaf owner, I agree it's really perplexing and frustrating. I was looking at what else Nissan are doing, and while they've gone for CCS on the Ariya (and also got the active battery thermal management), frankly I don't want or need an SUV.
