Those all died when Windows 95 had native multi-tasking for DOS (Virtual 86 + DPMI). Yes, there were other alternatives, and even Windows 3.1 had rudimentary support for multiple DOS programs.
But they mostly had to share the same OS instance with many hacky hooks, and unreliable TSRs, and one DOS program failing could have caused the entire machine to lock down.
My memory could be failing me, but 1995 was the time we started losing interest in alternative DOS versions (Novell DOS anyone?), DOS shells (DESQView?), Windows alternatives (GEM?), and of course entire operating systems (OS/2). Even Novell Netware went into sidelines when Windows came with basic peer-to-peer file sharing.
