Ah c'mon, they failed in technical design and the marketplace. Oly's
first AF cameras didn't perform as well as the competition and they had
horrendous QA problems. They FUed to the point where camera store
salespeople would actively steer customers anyplace else, to avoid the
inevitable after sale problems.
They put themselves out of the AF DSLR business.
