Where would they get the money to develop a body of their own invention as
well as lenses that require AF?

You are right about being better off IF they had unlimited money to develop.
They don't.  They are in survival mode.

Wouldn't they in fact be better off (competition-wise)
going all the way: bite the bullet, make their own AF
body, thereby competing toe-to-toe with the Japanese
cameras while keeping their optical advantage to
themselves?
