Sublety is not lost.

The interesting thing about the DC-3, which probably was never
expected, is that the remaining remnents of the fleet aren't being
grounded from wearing out, but from operational costs. Granted, most
of them are looking pretty beat up and scary, but still flyable.
Decades of flying cargo have taken their toll.

The Cessna Caravan single-handedly grounded most of the DC-3 aircraft
because of the superior operational costs and being right-sized to the
volume/weight of the majority of applications the DC-3 had served
since being taken out of passenger service.
