No professional wants to deal with wifi, maybe ethernet.

So it's at most a prosumer feature for which the wifi they have is fine.

For professional use we want SDI which can transmit uncompressed video at whatever frame rate the camera supports, and we pay for that... Maybe HDMI but that has it's own headaches...

And the moment you want Android with apps on it you run into all the problems that comes with Android with apps on it...

You are then also responsible for keeping said app up to date. If you think android solves that problem you purely need to look at the custom modding community for how annoying firmware support is, and these cameras won't have generic phone camera chips, they have custom processors which would then require custom firmware.

But my usual argument, if it's so easy go and do it. Many successful projects/companies has started exactly like that, why don't we have X? Go build it.
