Eh, this was explored several times over the last 15 years and never stuck around. At this point in time i dont even see a marketable reason since phone cameras are good enough for the average user for several years now. Hobbyist or professional photographers will stay with their purpose built devices with robust and long living lens systems, better ergonomics, exchangeable batteries and storage, etc
This current effort will result at best in gadgets with questionable performance compared to their price with probably several short living but not interchangeable standards and ecosystems.
But sure, if they pull off an open standard with say a 1" sensor and a bayonet mounting system which will be supported for several years over several manufacturers and devices with affordable lenses and addons which have feature parity across all (non)proprietary camera apps I’m all for it. But even then i dont think there is a big enough market for the ecosystem to be sustainable.
