Most laptops are not capable of pushing 5K for external displays. Even my '18 MBP can't handle a 4k monitor at 60Hz (at least, I couldn't get it to work).
So the market for these is limited to people with desktop workstations or pretty high-end laptops. Which is probably why they aren't going anywhere.

My '17 MBP can do two 4k external displays at 60Hz on top of the internal display using displayport, so yours can definitely do one. This is a good reference.
