I think it's because the newest "official" methods of printing with
his inks...

StudioPrint
profiles with the Epson RGB driver
ImagePrint (barely aproved anymore?)

...do not allow a supporting ink underprint like the old plugin or
pro24 RIP did.

You can, however, do it with StudioPrint. It's not really mentioned
anywhere that I'm aware of, and it's not variable, but it's doable.
Other options like QTR or IJC/OPM would let you underink too.
But with no underink, original tonal relationships will be best
maintained over time with Museum K. However, I know folks like
yourself that have been using PortfolioK since it came out, with no
underink, with Prints wearing very well.
Who knows, I've had old Piezography ink prints on my walls for years,
that get a lot of open daylight (no direct sun) that still look great.
I suspect they will still look great for many years to come.
