Default Are Dovetail Joints becoming a thing of the past?

When you figure out a way to use a box joint to replace a half blind

I don't see the problem. Use a router with a bit the size of the
desired fingers. Same mechanism as half-blind dovetails.

Not much point though except maybe on a really tiny box where you could
use a 1/8" straight bit for itty bitty fingers.
