They are not allowed to say "no" and keep their jobs. That's just not a word they have an option to use. And its likely that some camera company will have an adaptor for their body. Which already happened with Nikon. Its likely that one will come out sooner or later which will not require stop down metering. Either way it appears to be not a problem which Leica is worrying about coming up with a solution for directly. Shooting with stop down metering is done every day. Its doable. And not the end of the world. The images speak for themselves.
