Judging by the success of the X-T4 (bigger than the T3 by some millimeters) and the S10 so far (bigger than the T30), seems like a safe bet they’ll sell more units to IBIS fans than they’ll lose to cheap/compact fans.

They risk upsetting X-Pro and X100 users if they add IBIS to this camera... they will stop selling those models while everyone waits for ibis.

The fact the X100V's new lens does not have OIS, a technology that’s well known to Fuji, suggests to me Fuji does not view stabilization in general to be all that important. I find it an absurd posture in today's market but, so be it. Users of the XPro's and X100V's knew this going in and got what they paid for.

I suspect the reason why the X100 didn't get OIS, or a WR lens even, was to protect its small size.

You’re probably right. A good example of a few millimeters in size is more important than a feature that’s become very important to buyers. Execution like that isn’t going to attract new customers and risk losing good customers (7 bodies and 12 lenses when I left). So be it.
