We went perusing Power Shots and it seems the only ones readily available is the G7X III, no G5X II or G1X III in stock.

Anyhow, I hope that we are not seeing the last of the Power Shot line with existing remaining inventory.

The G7X II, G5X II, and G1X III are all still being manufactured. However, there is a huge manufacturing backlog.
For instance, each of those models has a 3-month wait when ordered directly from Canon Japan (as does the G7x III).
The Canon US web store has the  G7X II in stock. But, unlike the JP store, they just list cameras as "out of stock", if they can't deliver right away, unlike Japan, where they take your order now as a reservation, and ship later when it becomes available. That might give the impression that some models are discontinued. But, even the G7X III is "out of stock in the US store. And, that is certainly not discontinued, as it's their newest premium compact.
