Not much demand for it these days apparently, though I tend to agree linear tacking is a very desirable approach in theory for tracking a record but it has to be realized well in a product that people have good reason to buy. Although turntables have achieved more of a presence of late than for many years prior, it is still a relatively small and very competitive niche market it seems compared to when linear tracking models reached their peak (still a very small niche even then).
I’d even go so far to say that handling a tonearm manually is one of things that people associate with vinyl and contributes to its appeal for many.
