Officially, JIP and Panasonic will continue developing MFT. My guess is that it will become a much more niche product than before, with strong emphasis on video where the small sensor has its strength. If I were to buy a small camera mainly for photography today and didn't have any investment in MFT, I would clearly have chosen a Nikon Z50, a Canon M50 or one of the Fuji models. Nikon in particular has shown with the Z50 what can be achieved with a small, ergonomically sound body and compact, reasonably priced lenses.
Not the death of MFT, and I'm not selling my gear, but the focus will change.
