It is that kind of news I find very worrying for the analogue future. We have a whole class of film users in a highly populated country where there might be a market for analogue who never have considered making any prints. It just isn't the 21st century way, so to speak
The good news might be that film is so good that despite it being easier to go direct to digital they prefer film. The bad news is that printing as we know it has gone off their radar. The potentially disastrous news is that in fact they don't really find film to be that much better, they just enjoy the novelty of it or being able to tell their friends they are different but like any other novelty it will wear off.
