Not really, while that may be your interpretation (or
"spin" on it), the message is actually exactly the
converse: want more ? then  dish out more. Whether
people actually think what you are suggesting what I
suggested, I hardly think that is true at all. 

The market for the P&S Compacts is targetted
differently than the one where camera users
(professionals advanced amatuers beginner/hobbyists et
al) are more particular about their equipment and have
different/more flexible needs - SLRs, lenses, flashes
and so on. If a D-P&S offers a little more flexibility
which is satisfactory to me, then good. If not, then I
would simply move on to the next higher level as it
becomes affordable.

In fact I know many people who I think are good with
their photography but continue to be blissfully
unaware about DSLRs and their potential - and very
happy with what their "35-200/400" or so length
digital P&S gives them. Canon is already making money
in DSLRs, and the D-P&S just fetches them more revenue
from a different segment - more or less same for many
other manufacturers.
