Should Sigma make a 30 MP per layer full-frame Foveon instead of 20 MP per layer?

They would be able to hold up longer vs competition when they directly move to a higher px count.

And they need a clear usp to make new users buy into a new system.

for me to lug around a mirrorless and lenses, 20mp x3 would not be enough; the advantage over what I have would be too small. Particularly given my capabilities (moderate) and shooting style (handheld).

this may look different for a professional photographer that uses a tripod - she might still consider the advantage big enough
