You have obviously never used the RX10M4 - the zoom lens performance is NOT mediocre .... why not carry ONE zoom with GREAT performance ?? Having used Canon L primes, I can assure you I know GREAT performance when I see it....and the RX10 zoom has it ! - wide open - no stopping down....
M4/3 needs a W-I-D-E zoom that goes to 300mm with an f-stop in the 4's - that would make me a customer. It would not be horrifically large ! 77mm filters. I need 600mm equiv - like the RX 10 - without extenders - Zeiss has done it ! And yes, I know it defies all conventional logic regarding zooms.

Ricoh refuses to devote the resources needed to develop a new series of lenses - certainly not with a goldmine of older lenses.
Their strength remains DSLR, so a return to film is natural - a place where MILC would {at best} be at a disadvantage. They have had a series of talks where artists talk about their continued use of film. The fact that these other companies have left film behind is a problem for these other companies - in this case a majority does not mean correct.

"I'd rather carry two or three zooms with great performance than one mediocre one that costs the same as the three good ones."
Like a Panasonic Lumix 14-140 and a 100-400 for your GH5?

More like the 10-25, 25-50, 50-200, and 100-400. That would be my dream kit. I don't have any of them. I currently use the 12-35 f/2.8, 35-100 f/2.8, 30mm f/2.8 macro, and 42.5mm f/1.7. This year, I'll replace the GH4 with a G9 II or a GH7, if Lumix releases one.
