GH5 in USA: why no kit lens?

Re: GH5 in USA: why no kit lens?

The answer I heard from an interview with a Panasonic marketing guy was that historically the USA market hasn't really bought GH kits in enough volume, so they've simply stopped offering them. I guess in other markets kits have been more popular for the GH line, so those continue with the GH5.

Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but that seems to be the official line.
