You did break them all?
I would say they stopped making them, because they were sophisticated made and RF and practically the whole industry went into an era of efficient produced soulless disposibles at some point
...but Scant's theory could be true too. Anyway, I never broke one, but I am only a XC'ing skinny guy.
The RF with that logo was launched in, I think, 1996 and probably 1st appeared on the market in 1997. No idea when they were dicontinued. Lost interest than.

I still use 1, it hasnt broken, but a few of my, shall we say more hardcore mates hav. the insert into the seattube wasnt quite long enuff apparently.
the surface finish does vary a lot also. taking measurements along the shaft with a vernier calipers the variance in diameter is kinda scary! at least with machined posts such as syncros & thomson the diamater stays the same (less chance of it slipping in the seattube)
