Agreed with your comments for a main camera. As I understand it, a lot of photojournalists kept a Leica around for the wide lenses or for a compact second body. Nowadays, if a photojournalist (do they exist anymore?) needed a second or third camera as a compact alternative, I would expect they would use one of the many great P&S or mirrorless cameras. And a camera phone.
