… Find it incredible the main criticism of Sigma cameras is that they are not good general purpose cameras.

Many, perhaps most, customers look for a single camera that will be good at everything. Only a few will buy a second or third camera for its special image quality.

Quite so!

By the same token, long ago I sought a raw converter which could also do "everything". Back then, there were several contenders for the original Foveon F7 sensor, even including the mighty Adobe elephant-in-the-room's ACR. None of them bettered SPP, which I use as my primary X3F converter to this very day.

Just interested in the technology.
