Because you can't please all the people all the time.
History reveals the same arguments against the old M design; ad nauseam.

Leica has managed to rebuild its brand
as the top of the heap in terms of optical and mechanical quality,
and now a digital contender among those who care
about the wedding of optical/mechanical quality and fine sensors;
however idiosyncratic the gear may be.

It's at least a slightly different ballgame now.
They've got the glass, the tooling, and now the "brand"
? only lacking the "will."
