Why such a tiny market, can’t find any boots for sale unless they are brand new and the current year??

So I’m trying to get a pair of bindings as I just got my first board, I’ve searched far and wide and can find just about nothing. I don’t want to drop $1000 on new space mobs and so naturally like most sports you think you’ll just get some old stock for a discount like from 2022 but no, I like the 2022KTV boots (they match my board) but all I can find is one single pair in one size on the opposite side of the earth for the same price as a new 2026 pair. I don’t understand, do brands like slingshot make 100 pairs each year and call it a day and then burn the left over stock? Why is it such an incredibly limited market. I am looking for boots for the cable park so closed toe, not laced and preferably with a liner but it’s like the companies really force you to buy the latest boots only with no other choices. Just really frustrating I want to get out but I’m spending all day searching fruitlessly. Second hand market sucks real bad in my area, most are 20 years old and open toes and the ones that are nice (there’s like 3) are wrong size. I’m dying out here
