Absolutely, I guess even if they took over the scientific market with these they wouldn't be getting more than a couple of thousand sales a year - hardly enough to cover a batch of wafers.

I had hoped that there would be some sort of pro-sumer product that would have wider appeal, but everyone's gone in for the mega-pixel craze, and the silicon die size for these sCMOS chips is very large by comparison to a standard CMOS detector, so they'll always be at a disadvantage to those who wish to push the high-MP sensor.
