I've been buying 1 kg bags of frozen cauliflower for years, which used to be available at all grocery stores in my area year 'round, but in the past couple of months, local Safeways no longer carry any plain frozen cauliflower at all, just mixed with other vegs. And my local Coop now only carries 500g bags. So something is up. I've also noticed more grocery stores switching to small steam-in-plastic packages of various vegs with seasonings & canola/soy oil added (and a huge price markup). But I only steam/cook in glass or stainless steel and prefer to add butter or OO and my own seasonings or just salt. I may try to grow my own cauliflower this summer if the growning season is long enough.
Robin120 may be correct that Green Giant has been buying up and diverting it to processing facilities to get higher profits. Half the frozen "vegetable" cases that used to contain plain, frozen 100% vegetables have been taken over by Green Giant vegetables & products at most of my local stores.
