Olympus is a beloved household name and a lot more people are into casual photography. Kodak is making a small sensor PNS and has a significant presence in the JP camera market.
This is because the japanese have higher IQs than whites on average. With a higher average, the standard deviations are shifted and there are tens/hundreds of times more people in each IQ group. it's like an entire country of autists, so with their higher intelligence comes more awareness of all the fine details and grander concepts in life.
With a high IQ, the forced post processing on phones is more noticeable.
With a high IQ, the nagging thought that doing photography on a device with a cell radio capable of OTA 0-consent updates hands control of truth over to a cell network or tech company like apple is more tangible and less schizo.
With a high IQ, you notice your iphone slowly identifying and classifying people and pets and think more about the implications. Even if you're just a midwit.
With a high IQ, it's a lot easier to be against constant connectivity and more in favor of using a phone only for communication. And disaster preparedness - never running down your phone battery frivolously.
The japanese really like "real cameras" for their purity and honesty, for how they are just for taking pictures, so they really, really like it when "real cameras" are better than phones (while being honest) and small enough to be convenient. Much like all the autists here are incapable of tolerating iphone photos - its just the entire country being like 4chan/reddit users. This website itself is imported Japanese culture and its Japanese version is far more "for normies" in Japan. It's how autists like to interact.
