Yes but basically you have a handful of cameras to choose from rather
than hundreds.

There have never been hundreds of any good camera type, film or digital. In
35mm film there was Pentax, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Konica, Olympus and a few
others. Now Minolta-Konica is out of the camera business, Nikon has cut back
and others are looking to trim down. In the digital world, there are only a few
companies that _don't_ make waterproof - e.g. Nikon, Canon - but both can be
used in housings. Lots of cheap cameras out there, but not quality. And
certainly not hundreds.

Well, I'd guess that someone buying a camera has only about a 2% - 5%
chance of buying a waterproof camera by pure chance if waterproofness
is not part of their shopping criteria. Otherwise you'll be out of luck
or need an expensive waterproof housing.

And they'll have a 100% chance of buying one if they're not stupid.

I think you are right for general snapshots, but for nature photography
I've decided on using a pelican box for my regular camera.
