Neither Koaloha, nor Kamaka (or any other ukulele maker on this planet) are going to alter their hundreds of years of traditional instrument manufacture, to go after Martin's 1% of the ukulele market, and certainly not by trying to emulate the nut width of one model of that 1%. Martin is safe from "ruin" and the ukulele world is safe from Martin's ukulele with a 34mm nut.

I wonder if they used the neck measurements from a tenor guitar. Or thought they might be marketing to tenor guitar players.
I think there must be a market for both a wider and a narrower neck. They sort of have both covered. If I wanted a narrow neck, I wouldn’t buy a Kanilea. I don’t see Kanilea customers writing to Kanilea about that, although they’d have a lot better chance of effecting change.
