If Panasonic didn't make a FF (L) mount, then M43 would be Panny only option. Problem is Panasonic already have invested heavily in making FF (L) mount, with no apparent interest in making any new M43 sensor. If push comes to shove due to dwindling camera market.

I fully expect Panasonic to concentrate on its FF (L) mount over M43 to compete against Canon (R), Sony (FE/E), and Nikon (Z) mount. This is the ugly reality. FF is where the competition is now. While you may not want a FF, most buyers seem to be sucking up every Sony Alpha 7 and the soon 2b released Canon R5/R6

L-mount was not a huge investment for Panasonic ... just bring 3 manufacturers together and build 2 cameras .

Actually, Panasonic has already built 3 camera bodies (S1, S1H, S1R) and 6-7 lenses. That's a pretty hefty commitment. Using an existing mount didn't save them much money.
