Not at all, Bob.
The specialist camera makers can shelter under the umbrella of the film and camera manufacturers. So long as Kodak and Fuji sell film cameras the ~hardware only~ manufacturers can rest assured that film will be available for the required period.
But on the day that no film manufacturer also sells a film camera there will be much rearranging of the deckchairs on the Titanic. I predict that no company would risk the legal ramifications of selling a film camera if Kodak and Fuji also withdraw from film camera sales.
Like I said, while Kodak and Fuji sell film ~cameras~, film has ten years minimum life expectancy.

Hi,
that would not be a very clever argument. It would imply that the camera makers such as Pentax also had to be film makers. Or that kitchen equipment makers also had to be food retailers; printer manufacturers would have to be paper makers. Law-makers would have to be Fagins. Cup makers would have to guarantee a water supply.
