Every week, 2-3 new lenses are produced. Many from companies new to the market. But, since the DSLR market/mirrorless is 1/10th of what it once was,
where are they going to sell them?
Unlike film, whose sales are on the uptick and have seen a number of new companies with new film offerings, camera sales have stabilized at historically-low levels.

Everyone thinks that since they have an iphone, they don't need a camera.

Or even better, if they have a Pixel phone.
I bought a few lenses when I went to a Panasonic micro-four-thirds
camera. Most recently that was an Olympus macro lens which I have been
please with, but that was over five years ago. Likely I have less need
for better quality than the Pixel phone (with its telephoto lens) as
display on a TV screen or occasionally A4 size print is all I now use.

length range is very special. The new 20mm/F1.4 is very interesting too.
In any case, what I hear is that Olympus can't make enough of certain
lenses to meet the market demand.

I always find slightly amusing those "lens review" articles full of
image "examples" of better performance of new lenses, where you'd never
see the difference on a phone, tablet, or laptop. (Latest was a Fuji).

--Well, I've certainly taken one fewer camera when we go (=went) on holidays. I now have a Galaxy S21 and no longer take a point-and-shoot. Samsung for 'happy snaps', Canon D6 and RP for 'serious' stuff.

With the new phone, it's getting more like I own a (reasonable) camera with 3 lenses and that can make phone calls and show me where to go.

Zoom lenses or multiple lenses in phones puts further pressure on traditional cameras.
I find it confusing when phones are advertised with "a 4x zoom lens" (Pixel 6 Pro), when it's not a "zoom" at all, but a further fixed focus lens!
