Looks like just about all the manufacturers have dropped 17 lb from their line ups
Trilene is about the only fluoro that makes it. I can't understand why. I know I can't be the only one that would use it. There is just too big of gap between 15 and 20

It's in the Stren Line. Original and Super Knot. I stopped checking after these two. #17 is definitely available.

15lb Invisix works fine for me. I think you can still get 17lb big game.

I'm not sure if you are talking about fc or mono but bass pro sells 17 in Excel that I've used for years that performs great.

Ive noticed something similar, 17lb is the main pound test I use. But I can still find the big spools of Berkley Big Game 17lb.
