Kodachrome isn't that readily available any longer, that's the only point I disagree on, it's now only distributed in North America and the UK. Not all UK photographic shops and professional dealers stock it but as Tim Wallis points out it is available, and I saw odd rolls on the shelf myself when I was last in the UK.
In most UK towns you can find more Kodachrome at Boots the Chemists than you can at Jessops.
EDIT: I see Tim has already said that!
Current fim may be coming out of older stored product that was on the shelf, or they may have coated a new batch. IDK. I have not followed this for months.
Is their any way to find out how much Kodachrome Kodak actually sells?
[...]
I have no axe to grind about Kodachrome, or sour grapes, but there has to be some realism about the film and its future.

It has been out of stock at Freestyle for a while and I really want to get some. Maybe they need to make a new master roll and they are holding off or something......Freestyle keeps saying that Kodak tells them they will get it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes.
We are wholly aware of this, my dear. Sour grapes. You at least get the amazing pop music being cranked out from that continent right now particularly that collaboration between a certain vocalist from Perth and a certain Sydneysider producer.
We here in North America don't.
We only get Kodachrome P/KR64.
FWIW, I placed a call to Kodak to ask them about the rumor of Kodachromes being discontinued. The guy told me that Kodak has no plans to discontinue it.

<giggles> A profoundly deaf person like me last heard pop music in 1974, and really, I don't concern myself with it.
But... who is the "certain vocalist from Perth and a certain Sydneysider producer"? There are thousands that collaborate/conspire in music. Presently everyman Keith Urban is about (assisting the Victorian Bushfire Appeal cause), attracting a legion of screaming, camera-wielding twenty-somethings.
The challenge would then be to try to generate synaesthesia of "sound" from the visual work I'd produce. This would be infinitely harder to do.
On the money there.
I only need to look at one of my beautiful Cibas and sometimes I will hear music.
