I wonder what the result might be if Nikon (or Canon or any other
maker) decided that there was a market for a 55mm f2 lens (equivalent
to Leica's "midium" format 70mm f2.5 "standard lens") and which could
have a market at a MSRP of $5,000.

Insufficient sales to cover the development costs perhaps?

I don't know how Leica did selling the S2, but it must have a solid
profit built-in at the prices its components cost.
