Still waitin' to be proved wrong, really.

Yes, a device costing hundreds of dollars is unlikely to be given away in great numbers. However, some of those who got a 34S or 31S and liked it, or some who use one of the many RPN calculator programs on their phone, could become interested in the 43S if a convincing case is presented for why it's awesome. Edit: If a nice suite of financial functions is included, it could even be marketed for the folks using the 12C.

It's not my goal to prove you wrong. I'm just trying to provide a new perspective and point out that it is possible to win new converts by the merits of RPN alone without relying on nostalgia. But it won't happen if an attempt isn't even made and everyone resigns to the fact that RPN calculator users are inevitably going extinct.
