Women like jewelery. Women really care about it. They have a relationship with what they wear. It’s part of their outward identity. It signals what they like, what their mood is, how they approach people and how they like to be approached. They can seem capricious over it and constantly mill through it which seems absurd for a tool but makes perfect sense for a fashion item. Its not just about how it looks for them, its about what its like to have it.
Micro four thirds cameras are essentially the jewelry versions of real cameras. They’re worse at being a camera (i mean, its fucking digital! its a pure soulless data gathering device no matter what, it has no character or soul or heritage or extra meaning or any of that shit, unlike film which is tangible and scarce and actually takes skill to use) but its ok because they’re mostly about how amateur photographers, especially women, present themselves as carefree, non-threatening, and exempt from high expectations.

For the blended approach (high style - well earned - plus a solid argument for having a place in your life) see classic film cameras. They have heritage, scarcity, tangibility, a bar to meet for skill, and require some handiwork to do the complete hobby (dev and print your own). Film is part fashion part pragmatism part passion, like traditional woodworking.
