That's not unusual, actually. The thing is, it was never implemented as a standard. I was able to find this from last year:

It isn't that we've gone away from the idea, it's just that it took a different path than the one those folks intended. We have an entire buffet of DRM schemes, across multiple types of media, but it is separated from the fixed hardware of the machine.
Edited to add after premature posting: I suspect that once the lid was blown off the ATA standard they were reaching for, it was no longer as interesting to the involved players. We're left with scattered implementation in SD cards.
