There is a huge open market for someone who wants to make nicer flip phones, for sure.

Is there really? It seems more niche than a phone with a full physical keyboard.

I think so. In the social circles I'm in, there are people looking to get away from apps and searching out flip phones. I'd wager we'll see a continued increase in their usage.

There are plenty of low-end / feature flip phones, though. What isn't nice about the existing options?
