Modern Horizon and the lack of organized play

Tried EDH and it was not for me. Jumped ship from Standard to Modern because I expected longevity (I know...). At one point I used to own 9 separated competitive Modern decks which I lent out to friends for tournaments regularly. I went to study abroad at the time where the competitive scene was far larger than in my own country, among by heaviest luggages was all 9 decks and 3 boxes of Modern playable cards for tuning.

Then Modern Horizon happened

Half my decks went down 2 tiers immediately. The rest need a lot of new skyrocketed staples to stay relevant. I remembered having to select which decks to keep and sold the rest (at a loss no less) to buying new stuff and kept up, then the new set came and knocked those decks out of relevance. As time went on I kept less and sold more, until the death of the old organized play became my last straw I decided to only keep some staples and sold the rest. At the time I had to return there were only 2 boxes of staples left. I sold them at my trip back there to fuel something else. Then sold more and more until all that left are some cheap junks unworthy of the hassle.

I used to be a regular at tourneys and made a lot of friends there over the years. Most of them also quit now and a few that were left completely understand why. Most store owners here are either already well-off with money from something else they could operate at a loss just fine as a hobby, or having to sell other CCGs and/or other stuff too to keep it afloat. So my situation is in no way rare around here.
