My FireWire disks are daisy-chained, and people I know that try to stay with Firewire HDDs do so to.
Rather than the feature not being successful (it works just fine), it is the connector that features it which has not gained traction. Pretty much every FireWire disk has 2 FW sockets just for that. Pretty much no USB disk does. That is probably why you have not seen it.
