OSC still exists it just never became the defacto standard for the industry; primarily because there is no standardized device mapping for interoperability. MIDI 2.0 fixes a number of issues that OSC was intended to fix, but imposes vendor limitations which lead to standardized adoption. I still use OSC for music production, and it's my goto protocol for writing code that needs networking as it's a super simple message passing protocol that lets me quickly connect various devices and services :)
