There is one reasonable conclusion - the Sigma cameras are experimental.

But - they are not alone - look at Fujifilm. Hmmmm ... but the later higher end Fuji have settled for the same sensor for many moons now.

However Fuji is selling tons of cameras, has great lenses and is continually adding features and enhancements through firmware upgrades which are free.  No other manufacturer is doing that. Sigma could learn a lot from that model, in my opinion. The Fuji sensor has been successful, it can take fantastic images and there is no need to be in a megapixel war. More pixels does not mean better pictures, just means larger ones are possible.

Since any of this is just guessing and stating what Sigma's intentions are is just speculation, who know what they are doing, they might be perfectly happy where they are in sales. Since they are a small company by comparison, maybe they feel they are progressing within the bounds of where they want to be as a company. Who knows and in the end it is all about taking pictures which is far more fun to trying to guess the intentions of a company.
