Why can't I find a simple "stick" vacuum with a cord?

My wife wants what we used to call an "electric broom", today known as a stick vacuum. This would be just for plain old floors, tile, linoleum, etc. Seems impossible to find now or outrageously expensive. Don't want a spinning brush either. Just something to pick the dirt off the floor with a cup I can empty out when needed. Used to have a dirt devil model (noisy put powerful) but now even dirt devil has only cordless or models with the motor located in the handle. Maybe I should start visiting the antique stores. Thank you.

Here's a cheap DD on a stick. Just turn the brush off.

I searched and bought a Hoover Air Cordless. It had features I wanted: It sits upright by itself, It has a detachable hand vac, and it has lithium batteries. Love it. Works great, cleans well, empties easy and lasts quite long on a battery charge.

We have bought two from Kohls recently. They work pretty well on our hardwood and tile.
