Suggestions on next steps if any for the following situation.

I've applied for a senior position, made it through several rounds of interviews and was about to head to the company's HQ for a dinner followed by the next day of a final interviews.

I came down ill, and wasn't able to make the trip. Now they have decided to look at other candidates and I'm out.

I've been in sales a long time in both sales and sales management. I've never come across any situation like this before.

That's this job market for you. So unprofessional and unjust the way that things totally out of your control can affect you like this, but I'm not surprised. They are looking for short cuts in hiring, not necessarily willing to work to find the best candidate. So anything they can use to eliminate you and make their decision easier, they'll use it. Sorry you've gone through this. :/

I wonder if it was always like this or if the earlier generations were different in their approach

I am really sorry to hear that. It is a shame that they couldn't give you some grace when you were ill. It sounds to me like they aren't considering you anymore so I would move on and look for other opportunities.
