 Granted, this is the first sort-of-zoom for a rangefinder - right? But given
the quality of each of the individual lenses, and given the small size and
weight of each of the individual lenses, and given that while not all of us
have 28s but virtually all of us have 35s and 50s that will fit in the same
coat pocket and will produce razor-sharp images, what gives? >>

This is a legitimate question.  I cannnot speak for others who are interested
in this lens.  For me it would provide a good lens for certain applications -
casual shooting when I only want to carry one lens.  I agree that it will
probably not be as sharp as the Leica prime lenses.
