Maybe they'll switch to AF one day - after all, Cosina has been making AF lenses at some point, right? I can't imagine them voluntarily pigeonholing themselves into that narrow niche forever (for financial, not conceptual reasons) if they really have the wherewithal to break out of it. See the Samyang case: they were only making stone age lenses for a while and seemed stuck in that rut, and then rapidly switched to AF - to the point that nobody even really remembers them being a stone age manufacturer now, and all the rage is in their E mount lenses. :-)
