supersonic flights had a lot of issues, first thing is they were expensive and dangerous to operate, second thing its hard to make passenger jet tier planes supersonic unless you're ok with like 70-150 passengers, commercial aviation as a whole now is more quantity based. as in how many passengers can you fit in a plane.Yeah, they have been developing a near hypersonic version of brahmos by modifying existing "ramjet" engine for few years now.
supersonic flights were marketed as fast transport medium for dhandos, who had to attend meeting in other countries , then internet happened , video calling became a thing, thus the appeal of being physically present became less and supersonic flights became unnecessary.
