John,
I might suggest trying the question in reverse...
The reasoning for the Bessa LENSES having a screw mount? They can be used 
on all cameras, including M, there'll be a greater spin off through extra 
lens sales (to M owners as well as screw) than extra body sales.

Anybody know the reasoning behind the Bessa cameras having the screw mount
instead of the M mount like the Konica Hexar?  You cannot mount any M 
lenses on
it like this (or can you?)
