Could be 100% true.... but what the market wants is what the market
gets.....  AF, Super WA lenses.

Do not confuse market wants with competent design and production
availability, nor marketing claims.

The company with the best story usually wins.

 the finest optical
quality in WA lenses may only be able to come from manual focus
lenses simply because the compromise needed to allow for the backlash
and movement needed for a fast AF and low battery consumption forces
the maker into a more compromised optical design.
