However, it is also frustrating when I want a certain type of guitar and find out it's not offered in lefty form. And makers are reducing the number of lefty models all the time.

I'm curious: are there any lefty acoustic archtops offered? Eastman has electrics, but if I wanted an old fashioned acoustic archtop, what would I do short of having a very expensive custom made?

Just keep in mind too, the all solid wood Eastmans are very much acoustic guitars, the pickup is usually a floater and easily removed.
