I’ve tried using my hollow and rounds without great success but use edge beads and ovalo’s ok.
Yes I share your concern regard their future use……people just reach for a router!!

Well, actually, there has been a robust resurgence with molding planes and their use. Several craftsmen are making them and have great tutorials, DVD’s, and books on their use.
Three makers that come to mind are Larry Williams (Old street tools), M.S.Bickford, and Caleb James.
What they sell is expensive, but they are very generous in showing how to make your own and using them. They are plane evangelists.
Williams has a must-have dvd for sale through Lie Nielsen. “Making traditional side escapement planes”
Bickford has a book- “mouldings in practice” available through Lost Art press. It is essential in showing the process for making any profile.
James has several free plans on his site for English and French style planes, including a free download of a great Popular Woodworking article he wrote on making Roubo style planes ( very easy- like Paol’s rebate plane build)
All have videos on YouTube or Vimeo. (or on their sites) that show hot to make and use them. Bickford offers intro courses around the USA and I think in Germany that show all the possibilities with just 2 pair of moulding planes and a filletster or rebate plane.
There are others, but those three go a long way towards gaining proficiency.
Just search for “hollows and rounds” on YouTube for these and dozens of other great tutorials
