The initial focus was on USGS 3DEP https://www.usgs.gov/3d-elevation-program, but there are other sources of high-quality recent LiDAR:
National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) https://data.neonscience.org/data-products/DP3.30024.001 (2013 ->, ongoing)
OpenTopography https://portal.opentopography.org/dataCatalog
These are not STAC APIs, so similar to the WESM search, would need to have custom functions to load into geopandas.
