Kowa seem to take their time introducing new models, they still have the 663 as the medium size current model and that has also years.. A decade in the 883 is not a lot, because not a lot can be improved about the scope.. They (kowa) keep improving coatings and little details in their models as they are available, they did that with the tsn1 and 821 series, making better and deeper coatings and implementing them or improving sealing, and they didn't even bother to announce this or rename the models.. So that decade could have changed or improved the 88 series in a few details to help the aging process, so I think that series is gonna stay for a long time.. To make something worth to launch would have to be in the 100 plus mm, and if you think about the price of their 55 prominar offer, You might realize that this fluorite giant might be a bit much for the new market order.
