Not all botanists agree with the conclusions but some do. The previous popular variety in the 60s and before was the Gros Michel. It was wiped out from commercial production. So this kind of event is not unheard of. Snopes has a debunking but the debunking consists not of ruling the disappearance out but calling it very unlikely.
