Bokeh is a bit of a fad right now, it won't be as important in 5 years as it seems right now. Besides people who want 'great Bokeh' aren't buying m43s anyway. It's the wrong tool for that job.

Olympus to use Apple portrait mode someday ?
- Thread starter Terry Breedlove

That is usually due to the limitations of the photographer, not the camera.
If you mean his "Portrait Mode: Explained!" video, those 3 smartphones all use depth detection, using either dual cams or a split pixel sensor. AI is advancing, but not so fast that it can tell foreground objects from background objects by analysing a 2D image (it can still barely recognize objects at all).
I watched the video and it explained how these work. Never ever say something won't/can't happen it invariably does and faster than expected. You'll be eating your words before you know it.
Like the "pin hole" art filter in present cameras, or the "beauty mode" blurring the skin to hide imperfections.
So nothing revolutionnary, just an in camera post processing gimmick applied ony to jpegs.
This can be done with photohop or other editing softwares.
Some, like the Instagrammers, may like the camera to do the post processing job for them though. So why not?
But I don't think people buying the f/1.2 pro lenses would use it, and that the people who'd use this filter would buy f/1.2 pro lenses ;-)

I would agree with others in that there is situations where it is better to avoid too thin DoF. IMO celll phones produce less pleasiing software derived solutions that always appear formulaic and have a processed characteristic look that is predictable and unexciting.
if I needed more DoF I would always favour a faster lens.

One fast lens in the bag is often desirable. For portrait work, especially.
