Before the rise of seed oils, it would have always been sold. People bought lard. Then the 50's, 60's, 70's convinced all the women that fat was unhealthy. So it fell in it's use. I grew up in the 90's and I remember thinking that lard was unhealthy and gross. I had that opinion because of all the advertising.
Recently the truth has gotten out on what seed oils actually are. Combine that with the keto diets and carnivore diets. Essentially, people's diets are resetting. With that in mind, demand for tallow and lard are now up. So now it's a commodity once again.
Seed oils are bad because they're processed. They have to bleach the oil to hide the fact that it's all rancid. It's not a natural product for a man to consume.
