Why is Nobody Talking About the 42mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms?

A Discussion around the 42mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. After what must be 10 years, we've finally received a mainline production model that is smaller than 45mm's. So why is it that nobody seems to be talking about it? Is it because of the recent Swatch Scuba collaboration? Or that watch looks almost identical to the 45mm variant? A combination of its price and its design? Maybe it's a mix of all of these things.
