An ‘IMHO’ is preferred for this sort of post. Pentax has directly contradicted that assertion. Japanese don’t lie about such things. You don’t actually know anything.
On the contrary, the global economy is entering a booming growth phase, RIcoh Imaging is apparently profitable and Ricoh has little invested capital at risk but significant upside from spherical and lens patents applied to machine vision and autonomous heavy machinery. Camera equipment can be profitable on a low-volume, high-margin business model.
The lack of marketing is a business decision. Pentax Brand products are cost-advantaged vs. Canikon since there is no distribution infrastructure, dealer support or advertising to price into the gear.
Is KP a new DSLR product?

Ignoring all the Hoya misuse of historical cues -- On FF, replace K with L . . .
- Replace numbers with letters
- Start with X
- On APSc replace K with M . . .
- Replace numbers with letters
- Start with X
D LX, 2, 3 . . . (fewer features, inferior sensor) - 20, 30
D MX, 2, 3 . . . (12-bit RAW, 30-50-70 control set) - 20, 30

If Pentax should bring back Q they would once again have four distinct lines, ergo Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice. ;)

IMO they’re at the point where they have to start from scratch on AF (new AF module, by which they mean sensor and perhaps dedicated processor). A new CPU indicates a complete rethink on the processing logic, which throws open every system in the camera. Inductively, that would explain the delay but it makes me uncomfortable. I’m accustomed to Pentax logic.
