Wow, all in all this sounds like quite some effort to dislike some of the possible choices the designers of the proposed new camera might have hinted at with this prototype.
5 to ten years, seriously? what are the chances you want to use this camera in ten years for serious movie taking? And if so, why wouldn't you use a video rig from the beginning?
I like the Kp's tiltable screen, but if a successor of the K3 stays with the legacy of the K3, fair enough; of course this can be disliked.
Anyway, sometimes comments on (future) cameras and personal wishlists get mixed up a little bit. All good, as long as it does not evoke some feeling that criticism becomes an end in itself. That would be getting old.

I'd rather it just be baked into the camera than offloading it to the customer to carry around another gadget.
If they want to incorporate those streaming features into an app as well, great. Just don't make it the mandatory singular choice.
The other issue is what happens to the app in 5 to 10 years? Will it even run on smartphones of that era? Do you end up losing that feature of the camera as a result? No, put it in the camera instead if it is a binary decision.
