Netgear's ProSafe Firewall EOS/EOL?

I was happening to look last week on CDW's price lists for Netgear firewalls to no avail. Checked Netgear's enterprise page and it said they stopped selling the firewalls last September, there is no reason, and no replacement; and if you're looking for VPN software you're SOL. Apparently the last patch to the most recent line ProSafe F/Ws was in April of last year. I kinda liked Netgear's because it was not too technical and overwhelming, and I've always avoided Cisco/IOS, and the other guys are ransomware (if you don't pay to play-attitude)

What was the reasoning? They apparently had no explanation. What would be a nice migration path to something other than a ProSafe in the next year or two?
