I'm inclined to agree with you. 
If Leica is content in sending their publicity message
in such sophisticated form, my feedback to them :
"more power to them". If Leica wants to be associated
to the designers and the aristocrats of the world in
craving a "nitch" market and leave out the
"photography" factor, so be it.
I like Leicas, but I do have a problem in associating
with the sophistication and the aristocracy image that
Leica is projecting.
Perhaps due to the erosion of market share, Leica have
very few options left.
