I’ve been wondering if all manufacturers boycotted California...

For the last two decades, CA has accounted for approximately 20% of all firearm sales done by FFLs in the USA.

Manufacturers would lose a lot of money and most won't do it voluntarily.

Do you think that there could be a favorable ruling that the roster was in fact a defacto gun ban and therefore is unconstitutional?

I’ve been wondering if all manufacturers boycotted California and the roster if it would force the issue.

YES. THEN THE DECISION WOULD BE APPEALED, AND THE CURRENT ROSTER WOULD STAY IN EFFECT AS THE RULING MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.

THE STATE WOULD SAY "THANK YOU, PROBLEM SOLVED".

If manufacturers took their handguns off roster voluntarily instead of at government order, it would not help a constitutional argument because it was not government action that did so. The government would defend on the grounds that the roster had a hundred models available to citizens but that private industry made them unavailable.

If all the gun manufacturers agree that micro stamping technology for firearms is useless or does not exist wouldn’t that be a case (no pun) to appeal?

Per the 9th circus
"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In ruling on bullet-stamping law, California Supreme Court says state laws cannot be invalidated on the grounds that complying with them is impossible."

Not that I agree with the decision, however the article sells short the 9th Circuit's "reasoning" - to use the term loosely.

Gun manufacturers asserted microstamping as required by CA laws is neither possible nor reliable. The inventor, much to everyone's surprise , asserted otherwise and of course the 9th went along. So it wasn't a matter of "can't" but rather "won't". Which I presume would be the same result if manufacturers deliberately let current semi models fall off roster. Objecting on the basis of microstamping is gone. Objecting because of the loss of "grandfathering" would be treated as the aforementioned "won't" as would deliberately not submitting revolvers.
