You are right.
The new link noted on FT to indirectly get to seat maps "has taken flight".
It appears, however, that the flight-specific pages you get to by providing info on that page still works. For example:
https://www.aa.com/seats/view?flight...A&aircraft=738
So one could get the info for one's flight by painfully inserting the needed info into that URL. Hopefully it's just a hiccup; but if not, and no replacement is forthcoming, some enterprising soul with a website could set up a simple webform to provide the functionality.
P.S. Trusting Seatmap is risky...
