Where are all the rootstocks?

Why is it I can't find credible sources of rootstock for grafting? Sure I can descriptions, and I have found a whopping 2 sources of rootstock in America. One of which I don't trust, and the other I do.

Here's my list

Non trust here: http://www.cumminsnursery.com/antiques.htm ((Reason: This also happens to be the place the US has its Malus USDA scion repository, see the conflict of interest? I sure do, doesn't matter if he still works there or not IMO))

Lots of trust here: http://www.fedcoseeds.com/index.htm

My question is what am I doing wrong? Wrong keywords? Why is finding a source of Bud9 as difficult as legally exploring under the Sphinx in Egypt? Are commercial apple growers keeping it close to the heart to keep it out of the common gardener / farmer?
