My guess would be:
1) That the so called "Mussel Crysis" was not that big a threat.
2) That there are other mussel shell producers (China).
3) That bironite was not as good as it was claimed to be (or even more expensive).
4) There are other sources of shell for the beads: mainly Black & White/Gold Lipped MOPs.
But I would really like to know what happened to Bironite...
