Found a good article by The Drive that discusses GM's decision to transition the Blazer to another roadgoing crossover. They claim that interest in a body on frame truck, is extremely low and that kind of vehicle has never a part of their original plans.

"For this vehicle, with the midsize, two-row customer really being design forward, we looked at the business case, and those customers aren't necessarily looking for the body-on-frame," Chevy spokesperson Maureen Bender said. "So we kind of have a modern interpretation of a Blazer with this being a crossover. It was never intended to be anything else."

Perhaps this is something that GM can consider for the Blazers first update, or who knows what kind of aftermarket solutions may come about. But I agree with @Kayfive that rarely do people in SUV's venture off the beaten path.
