I really need to buy a K1
Or the K-3 III. Have you seen the K-3 III interface yet? It's a completely new generation from the Pentax cameras that preceded. I don't know anything for sure, but I think that any cameras based on the new OS are going to be more "future proof".
In this case, they probably made an exception for the K-1 II because they still expect to be selling it for a while. That makes it worthwhile to develop for, but it must be more difficult to make a business case for continued updates to the KP now.
Still, be happy! The KP is a great camera that seems to be considered even more desirable now it's difficult to get hold of.
