I don't think we'll ever see anything like the Olympus XA again, film or digital.
I too prefer my XA2 and XA3. They are less fiddly to use than the XA.
I primarily use pocket 35mm film cameras.
One factor that can contribute to unreliability issues is pocket lint.
Thorough internal cleaning during service often solves that.
Use of a pouch case can also prolong service life.

I had it on belt in the pouch. Pulling it out by strap was opening it and setting focus to 3m.
It crapped out within couple of years.
Too tiny electronics.
