M2 was derived from KLM which started in the 1970's.

I disagree. You don't think I have a clue. I think you have less than zero
clues.
OK that's an imaginary number, but it's as laughable as this argument!!
Those companies have been sold but they are still in business under new
owners.
In fact more antenna companies have been starting in recent years like M2,
Spiderbeam, etc.
Hustler
HyGain
Cushcraft
GAP
Cubex
Mosley
Comet
Larsen
Gem
Arrow
and many more.
These all still exist. Gotham is gone. So what? You claim a lot of them are
gone. Evidence
shows otherwise. They are still selling and succeeding. Next?

stock parts and tubing), and given the variety of models required to be

you have a clue about the scale of the market or the costs involved.
Stop and consider all the antenna companies that have folded or been
sold in the decade or two ... some several times. If selling cheaper
antennas on a large scale was as lucrative as you claim somebody would
be doing it, but reality is headed in the other direction.
