Oh, and that G9X removed most of the buttons... Essentially changing it from a 'pro' style compact, to a consumer compact. 'Pros' like buttons...

Do we? I must've missed that memo.
As a pro, I use the G9X because it's simple to use, small to carry, and produces pretty good IQ in decent light. I use it for location reconnaissance.
As to underwater use, I suspect that compacts have been completely squeezed out by action cams at the lower end, and ILCs with bigger sensors at the other end. Canon will know how many housings they've been selling, and wouldn't pull out of a profitable market.
