I was looking at the April 2023 issue of CQ Magazine:

source (along with 5 other issues from 2023): https://cq-amateur-radio.com/

 and came upon this blurb:

I dunno, I doubt there's a rebirth of CB due to FM but it might make CB more useful along with CTCSS.  These rigs don't appear to be hackable to 10 meters (or 12 ?) though.

BTW, yes, I am always the last to know :)
