I just got back from my local Barnes & Noble. There are a number of magazines on the photography rack devoted specifically to Nikon and Canon Cameras but there are no magazines on their binoculars, or anybody else's binoculars for that matter!
You think bins are an important part of their business?

That is a good observation, Nikon and Canon are camera companies,
Canon has dropped out of sports optics almost, and Nikon has the
market covered with the full range from lesser to the very best.
There are no magazines about binoculars, as models don't change as
often, camera companies have their hands full, with models changing
more than once per year. Competition is full, with sales numbers
sinking and margins slim.
For most watching, your smart phone may have a better camera than
your last DSLR.
