Specialty bulbs are still produced but even those are shrinking.

I recently bought a very low power/low lumen LED light bulb and it was rated for refrigerator and other low temperature use.

Hoven lamps will eventually suffer the same fate.

Incandescent oven bulbs will probably not be replaced, simply because there is no reason for it. The "wasted" energy from an incandescent bulb is expelled as heat, and extra heat in an oven is not a problem. You can describe the bulb in an oven as a tiny heater that just happens to give off a bit of light.
