Where did white keyboards go?

I think it is because they look old school and filthy. The former is the reason why I buy them, the latter is why I have to wash them more frequently than black keyboards.
How do you wash your keyboards?
Mostly it is just the caps that get filthy, so I remove them and let them soak for a few hours under room temperature water with some dishwasher liquid. A few swipes with a cloth does it for the base.
If I need to clean the insides, I use some canned air spray.

If it is not water resistant, you just pull off all the keys and simply clean it up. If it is water resistant(like Logitech K310), you simply wash it in one piece.
That was the old beige computer aesthetic, it went out with the iMac.
As long as you can get a white/gray Topre Realforce, it doesn't really matter.

So it makes me wonder, why is this happening? I believe that black keyboards are ergonomically bad from the contrast point of view so I am having hard time accepting this as a reasoning.
(and the lack of iso 105 layout keyboards is also an interesting topic for another day)
