I'm sure to some extent this is because some other manufacturers produce
either a set of "standard" functions, and/or produce modules based
(often v closely) on already-existing design concepts (moog ladder
filter, ms20 filter, you know the score). Not that this is intended in
any way as a dis, please understand - I'm very glad to have the option
of buying some of this stuff to use myself. The main exceptions out of
the stuff I'm getting are I suppose Blacet and Wiard, one-man
operations, it seems, with unconventional minds designing their
products, or synth tech, who have some clever & thoughtful folks coming
up w/circuits for them. Even then, their products include a discrete
re-creation of the SSM 2040 VCF, & a forthcoming cs80 filter clone.
Again, not that I'm complaining or anything.

Personally, I would imagine any new designs bearing the Serge name would
be unusual, or would take existing design concepts to different places
(EG the compatatively recent-ish pulse divider, w/ integer divisions
instead of multiples of 2) I hope Rex can get through this undoubtedly
extremely shitty period for small businesses & produce something new
ASAP anyway

best etc
