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.
Makes more financial sense for whom? Not Panasonic. That doesnt make business sense at all.
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.
Sales were extremely low for the GX7 MkII period. The MkII isnt even discontinued, but bundled with two lenses for around $600. https://www.amazon.com/PANASONIC-12-32mm-45-150mm-Stabilization-DMC-GX85WK/dp/B079VDF7ZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534709432&sr=8-1&keywords=Gx85
This hurts sales for the MkIII even more, because theres not much that many new features that separates the two.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
