Given the number of cameras are still around that take 620, 122, 616, and other long gone film sizes didn't keep Kodak et al from killing the manufacture of them.

This M42 DSLR would fill a demand that already exists

What makes you think this demand exists? Just because Pentax sold an awful lot of M42 lenses over the years doesn't mean that there are thousands or
