Default Lack of aftermarket support from vanquish?

I've been out of the hobby for a fair bit now but I've been in the market for a new trail rig. I've been really interested in picking up a trx4 sport kit but after doing my research I've really been kind of dumbfounded to see a lack of aftermarket support. Especially from companies like vanquish. Always been a huge fan of their products and not having their upgrades are a huge downside imo. This has probably already been covered but I'm curious to see if we will be getting an update if they will be releasing parts for this truck. There are other options such at STRC but they dont have the look or the premium quality that I had come to expect from vanquish. If there are no future plans from them I might honestly be swayed just to get the new umg kit from axial instead.

The TRX doesn't need much Aftermarket Support, grc makes good quality parts.
And i'm not impressed by the quality of the vanquish/incission parts i have for my yeti. Mostly replaced by SSD parts.

I was out of the hobby for a long time too. When I came back it seemed as if there wasnt as much aftermarket support for any brand I was looking at. Then I realized that some of the brands are still pushing the same cars/trucks/crawlers they were 10 years ago. The hobby is getting really small/dieing. In the years coming it will probably just be traxxxas and then 11ty billion knock off chinese companies.

Vanquish would be silly not to support a massively popular truck like the TRX-4. I would think they are working on stuff, but with smaller companies like Vanquish they don't have as many people or resources to dedicate to new products so it may take a little longer than the competition.

VP released their own 1/10 scale crawler a few months back so I don't expect to see them support a competitor brand with specific parts any time soon. That said, I REALLY like VP bead lock wheels and given the trouble that VP has had keeping up with demand I suspect they are just overwhelmed with catching up on stock. Personally, I would rather see VP concentrate on producing wheels for the time being.
