I wouldn't say it was a wrong decision. If you want an APS-C Pentax
with a tilt or flip screen there are two current models that suffice.
A KP or a K70. Even thought I don't particularly want either they are
great bargains at the moment, about half what I expect the new flagship
to debut at. Sure you give up some battery life and some buffer, but
what I would want a flippy screen for buffer and battery life are
probably the least of my worries. I also expect that given current
sensor tech you won't see a lot of difference between results from them
vs the new flagship.
Not having an articulated screen does have the advantage of avoiding
another point of failure. I'll bet that Ricoh has a lot of internal
data showing more screen repairs on those models than on any of the others.

Well, as expected, the die is cast: the new flagship will have a fixed
LCD screen.
Wrong decisions by R/P....
