Possibly due to J&J buying up as much as they can as they are using it to replace talc in their baby powder in many markets.

There appears to be a low customer demand for any actual cooking ingredients.
There are cornflour substitutes, e.g. arrow root, but you try finding that in a supermarket.

Since most packet sauces contain corn flour, it could be a tactic to make customers switch to more expensive sauces

DOOM: Cornflour
“Cornflour disappears from supermarket shelves - and it could soon be gone forever
Low customer demand prompts Tesco to 'discontinue' the British cooking staple
Tucked away in the back of almost every larder in the country lies a crucial, often underappreciated ingredient long seen as a staple of traditional British cooking.
Used to do everything from thickening Sunday roast gravies to making shortbread biscuits light and crumbly, cornflour was, and is, a necessity for most home cooks.
But now there are fears it could disappear from supermarket shelves forever after Tesco announced it was no longer selling the product as a result of “low customer demand”.
The revelation came after one unhappy customer posted on Twitter asking the company why it was no longer stocking cornflour.
A spokesman for Tesco responded by saying: “Cornflour has been discontinued because of low customer demand I'm afraid.”
