I think you're right and I guess I was also thinking of the broader scenario, by the time I became seriously interested and involved in photography in the late 1960's both Zeiss and Voigtlander were spent forces in terms of camera production and when I bought my first LF camera in 1976 Schneider was predominant in the UK, but Rodenstock had a good reputation.
LF is on a limb, it's always been a small niche market and look how long it took Schneider to sell off (and assemble) their last production run of Xenar lenses, a few years.
