I noticed a little while ago that A-B repeat is just gone from every media player (soft- and hardware) that I own. I think VLC is the last place it exists.

I understand why; it’s not exactly the most useful feature, but it used to be pretty ubiquitous: iTunes, Winamp, every DVD player, some CD players. We lost all the fun features! I want to hear the last 4 minutes of Freebird on repeat sometimes!
