Gardening is just like any pursuit - in crowds/out crowds, blind devotion to this one or that one - but as someone who studies pedigrees of older varieties, there are just a few issues there.....but there are loads of great smaller companies that are doing a fine job - Victory Seeds in Oregon, Tatiana's Tomato base, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.....
