I agree with all your statements. (How long will they be able to hold out?)
They chose to carry a "Direct Market" Item in this case.
Astak is also willing to stock the "Support" and Accessory items (Batteries, Covers...) that most Retailers will never bother with
I won't tell you how many times I have opened a Manual and have seen an "Optional Item" and returned to the "Full service" dealer and left empty handed ("We don't carry that")
