Are we really THAT rare?

After doing my research and deciding to buy a K-5. I called into the UK's main camera retailers to get my hands on one. They had truck loads of CONS (Cannons, Olympus, Nikons, and Sonys) but not a Pentax in sight. The explanation I was given was that the other companies paid for the shop displays but Pentax had declined. So retailers only let shoppers see what camera manufacturers pay them to display, rather than simply offer a full range of cameras and allow us to decide. So much for the free market economy! I suppose that may go some way to explaining why we are a rare breed. Still they were good enough to order one in for me, but only because I declined all other offers, even for 'weatherproof' CONS.
