I take it is because in the US, people don't tend to buy the body option for entry/mid level cameras even when it's offered. Buying the kit and selling off the lens tends to make more financial sense. Eliminating that SKU reduces costs for Panasonic and their dealers.

I remember the GX85 had a body only SKU that was discontinued very quickly in the US. I take it is because sales were extremely low for that option.
