I don’t think they have a negative effect on the high end quality and vintage market, and serve a useful purpose to augment the market IMO.

Interesting... I actually have never seen one in my real life (everyone is selling HP12c). All of my assumptions are based on my personal observation here in China. I'm not sure about the worldwide market scale for calculators like the DM42. I doubt it won't be very large, won't be large enough for anyone to think that making a DN42 is a profitable idea. It seems to me that DM42 is only popular in the vintage calculator community, which is a niche market. Tell me if I'm wrong.
