I have an aversion towards lockbacks. Dont sweat it, something will come along.
Interestingly, I'm generally averse to flippers but I like to try out different things and how I came to have the escort. It fills the hand well for moderate use in the woods and hiking on harder material whereas many folders go weight weenie and are as thin as can be and rough on the hands for anything above EDC work. I think the escort had a really nice balance but so does the swift and now in a backlock and not excessively heavy. Still love my millie but that blade thinness gets reserved for more food tasks than carving into wood and cardboard.
There are some cool things that come through so I think you're right that if you stick around something suiting your interests will come along.
Cheers
