Any hope to see Cobra iV in the store for a few (un)lucky ones?

Not trying to be y, but what are you sacrificing in exchange for getting this ship?
I got it as a reward. I understand your argument that you didn't or don't qualify for the reward (for instance, the PS4 crowd), but you are demanding that I have that the exclusivity of that reward revoked so that you can access it.
What do I get to take away from you?

Give me 10 minutes, and I'll change it.
You really should use a dictionary - though that's not what a dictionary is actually for, it will give you more reliable results than a search engine. I bet you got a lot of ads too.
And in case you're wondering, a dictionary is actually to help you pronounce words correctly. Including their meaning and examples of their use is secondary.
However, I don't really disagree with either side of this. I came just a little late to the party as well, and missed the Cobra 4.
It would have been moderately useful for me back when I was having a good day and made 100k credits all day. Would have made a decent small mining ship.

But these days, I wouldn't even bother launching a ship like this.
I wouldn't mind having one to complete my collection of ships, but I'd have no actual use for it.

I have to agree with you. We Earn the Ship. Some player even paid a lot of money to earn some of the rewards.
The attitude begs me to ask - is this what it takes to make you feel special? And no, this isn't meant as a personal attack, but rather food for thought. I mean, let's face facts here. As ships go, the Cobra 4 is pretty much crap. Polished Crap, but still crap. Dancing around, showing off your Polished Turd, well, you're still holding a turd, no matter how polished it might be. Just think about that.
Just buy an asp scout. Its Basically the same thing with a different skin.
Eh, not really.
Soup up that '73 Volkswagon Beetle all you want and you'll still get lapped 499 times entering it in the Daytona 500.
LOL. You earned it? Really? No, you bought an expansion at a specific time, nothing more.
If Frontier remove the exclusivity, even for the best of intentions, they open the door to have everything reversed, and cannot trade on trust which is pretty much a requirement to remain an active business. In short? To revoke, is to say they lied. That's about as clear as it gets.
It doesn't matter how "crap" or not the ship is, it forms part of an exclusive; there will always be someone who misses out on an exclusive at some point. You've argued this every time, and I respect your opinion but an exclusive, in perpetuity, is just that. Making that personal, doesn't really change it.
Frontier should have made it a timed exclusive, they did not; that as they say, is that. I am quite sure they will (probably) not ever do this again and I'd certainly encourage them not to repeat this again for any reason what-so-ever.

Side note; this is not our right (including holders of the exclusive) to define when it is or isn't exclusive, because. That's the right of Frontier; whom own literally everything we access.
Frontier could build a simulacra of the ship, same stats, same handling make it a faulcon delacy and that would provide access to the same thing. Visually, it's not a Cobra Mk IV, thus not breaking the exclusive. I have no quarrel with that. But breaking trust and removing the exclusive is objectively a bad call. I'd far rather see an addition that achieves the same thing; which maintains the exclusive, yet resolves ship capability.
Digital Extremes (Warframe developer) basically did this for Excalibur Prime, which was a backer exclusive, cannot be traded and is tied to an account. They built an amazing story and introduced Excalibur Umbra; same stats, likely literally identical, with slightly different (second) ability and a new look. In short, a homage to the Prime frame, without being that frame. New take, on the old swordy boye.
I'd love to see Frontier do something similar; introduce a ship for all, that has the same stats, but is a homage to the little space cheese-sandwich, rather than just going down the un-exclusive route.
Two is better than one, no?

Maybe FDev should make a virtually identical Cobra Mk. V and make it “exclusive” for everyone who doesn’t have a Mk. IV on their account. Problem solved.

Well we see you don't like the Beetle. But face this fact. The Beetle has been unchanged other than basic enhancements like a larger engine and automatic and maybe a better sound system and such. From 1938–2003 So that 65 years worth of history. Also designed by the most hated person on earth at the time.
Coming next in beyond beyond summer 2019, the EXCLUSIVE Cobra V!!! Buy now to guarantee access to brilliantly lackluster flying trapezoid!
And yet it’s still garbage, like most things Hitler touched.

If it was not for us who donated to Kickstarter we still be playing Oolite with a dream of a game Called Elite Dangerous.
The Cobra mk. IV had nothing at all to do with the Kickstarter. Go back and do your homework and try again.
