The “niche” can continue to exist if either Sigma can make money with it or they decide to subsidize it. Extinction can come to those that don’t adapt.

I personally view Bayer and Foveon market segments as separate markets, in that my purchases of Bayer cameras are not in any way affected by my purchases of Foveon cameras and vice versa. For me, Bayer cameras are not competitors to Foveon cameras, because Bayer cameras are simply not good enough for what I get from Foveon cameras. And vice versa.

What is two orders of magnitude smaller than a niche?

And regardless of your personal nomenclature, there are commercial realities that Sigma has to consider.
