The Fuji X-H1 is a content creation beast capable of 4k video and it has a very capable AF system, a high resolution EVF, plus all the weather sealing and IBIS of a Pentax body. The body sells for about $1650 on Amazon. I think the image sensor is a little better than the K-3 II but let's remember the K-3 II is an older body.
The older Fuji X-T2 bodies is probably closer to the K-3 and KP bodies.

I agree. The FF MILC market is setting itself up for an implosion or at the very least a serious correction. Too many players, too many mounts, too many offerings, I don’t know how long the market can sustain this. Sony did right by entering early and they were fortunate it took Canon and Nikon 5 years to offer a competitive product. I don’t think Sony will be able to hold on to their leader status like they did.
Video - honestly, for me, I think if you want to shoot video then get a video camera. Why dilute a traditional stills camera with this functionality? The market thinks otherwise and I’m sure there are hardworking pros out there that need both in one package. :)

I can totally understand Ricoh's frustration the KP didn't sell as well as a Fuji X-T2 ... but the X-T2 (and now X-T3) is power house 4k camera with on-chip phase detection to enable more reliable, faster, and accurate focusing. Like it or not, Ricoh has to get on board with 4k and they have to really step up with AF. Personally, for me 4k is useless since I do not create videos but the marketplace expects this. AF is definitely a weak spot for Ricoh unless you only photograph stationary subjects. Even then, it's still a little weak compared to other mirror'ed systems.
"Fix" those two things and more people will flock to the K-mount ecosystem.
