Chess books and equipment sales declined with the decline of chess tournaments due to covid as well as amazon which crushes the competition. It wasn't that the CMA was unhappy with the CFC. The business case was just not there to continue in the current environment.

I don't think that we can run a book and equipment business profitably though an equipment business might be possible in some circumstances. Hal Bond was interested at one point in doing that. To do so you need employees and it really isn't a core mandate of the CFC to sell books or equipment.
