Fact of the matter is RSA is perfectly secure still...and ECDSA/ED25519 should also be extinct given the rising need for post quantum cryptography
The problem is not the RSA math itself but that it is both extremely slow and implementing it is particularly susceptible to bugs and side channel attacks https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/07/08/fuck-rsa/
