It is more complicated than that. A direct diode yellow has been in development for decades, but these lasers have still been available as DPSS, OPSS, etc. I suspect that a 589nm direct diode that can operate at room temperature will be developed eventually, but knowing the exact day that it occurs is still too far away.
