The search space is all off too wide, difficult to parameterize, and there is a wide gap between effective and ineffective architectures - ie: a very small change can make a network effectively DOA.

Notably architecture search was popular for small vision nets where the cost of many training runs was low enough. I suspect some of the train-then-prune approaches will come back, but even there only by the best funded teams.
