Either people have bought out the non-34B's, so that only the 34B remains; or non-34B people have gone elsewhere, which caused the store to think that every customer is 34B.

Which is it???

It's the first one, hence the survivorship bias.

Both are survivorship bias, the difference is in who's experiencing it

That's fair, but I'd also posit that it simply isn't logical that a store would pivot that hard towards a single size.
