I agree that is very annoying.
I used to like the auction catalogs and actually enjoyed saving them from some of the auction houses but their are way to many auctions and to often so get to many and result no more space so now all gone.
The price is going up I am sure to both print them and mail them so not as profitable for the auction house.
Also in recent years they come later and later and I often get them at the end of auction and once or twice after it ended.
Many “modern” or new investors in the auctions do not use them but rely on the technology of online.
Now with the online interface, many auctions have preview etc I can see, some like HA have the app again making the printed catalog not as necessary

It will still take some time for them to truly go away because there is still value for it
