The K-01 was even successful enough for it to experience a brief post-discontinuation revival.
Not at all.
Having a few people pick up units off a 'discontinued shelf' hardly qualifies as a "revival"
No one expects to see a K-02.

It inherited the boxy shape of the K-01 that lets you stand it on a flat surface when a tripod is not an option.
And the flippiness of its screen is unrivalled in real-camera Pentaxland.
The K-70 has an "articulated screen" and my KP has a "flippy screen"; people are constantly complaining because the K-3iii's screen doesn't "flip".
All of my recent SLR's and DSLR's have had a flat bottom which allows them to stand on a flat surface when a tripod is not an option.
I even have a Thanksgiving photo I took around twenty years ago with a Canon SLR that I took of my family by placing my Canon SLR on a flat surface because I didn't have a tripod available.
