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.

Trying to protect your market by releasing sub-par products is not a good long term strategy, sooner or later someone will come along with the said features and walk away with your market, as Tim Cook famously said, Our core philosophy is to never fear cannibalization,” ... “If we don’t do it, someone else will.”

It is a lower mid-range camera which always has sub-par features... let's be honest.

Fuji has already deviated from that practice with the x-s10's release, so it can be done.
