Ha. That one is easy: Because I can program it in JAL ;-) For the rest I agree: There are jobs that require more processing power, and it makes no sense to only speed up processing, at some point it's better to use wider data buses. And, 16bit PICs are more expensive than 8bit. I bet faster 8bit devices would be more expensive than slow 8bit devices. If a fast 8bit device costs the same as a comparable 16bit device, who (apart from JAL users...) should buy that? If Microchip designs a new PIC, they need to be sure to sell at least some tens of thousands of it, or development and production costs would not be paid.
