I can't imagine that's something they would do. "Real" camera owners are already a niche group. Producing a camera bag would be a niche product of a niche group, especially when there are already many other established players at many price tiers and features. IMO it's not a product category that needs any solving compared to the backpack space.

Tbf backbag space didn't need solving either, but it was something Linus was personally driven by. Not finding all features he liked from existing products. Where as only carabiner zipper pulls is only unique feature of the backbags. And that's something one can very easily diy on any product.

That's true but basically everyone needs a backpack. The LTT Backpacks are catered to IT nerds but everybody could make use of them. Camera bags are really hard to use if you don't want to carry your camera.
Furthermore, the dedicated camera user niche is not getting bigger with smartphone cameras being as good as they are.
