As others have noted, they still have an education focused robotics set, it’s just not called Mindstorms:

Due to the cost it had to be a combined birthday and Christmas present (still obviously very privileged). The simple scratch-like programming system that kit used was great for me as a tween learning robotics.<p>Today I am designing an open source farming robot as a non profit project! (See my profile)<p>The early history of Lego Mindstorms is interesting. I didn’t realize Seymour Papert was involved but that makes a lot of sense!
