Panasonic has done exactly the same thing with their DSLRs and

Olympus doesn't do it at all. Fit an adapted manual lens and the
camera just makes an exposure.
On Pentax and Panasonic cameras, I enabled the ability to use "no
lens" as soon as I got the camera (that's effectively what this
means) and left it that way, never looked at it again.
I just ran across my photos from burning man a year ago where I
hadn't realized that my freshly repaired K20 had been reset to the
factory default of "shoot jpeg". If I cared so little about my
photos that I wanted to shoot JPEGs, I wouldn't spend the money on a
DSLR.
If you get the exposure (and white balance, and ...) correct in camera
JPEG is all you need.
I'm currently shooting RAW+. For about half the shots JPEG nails it.
