Just because there is a focal length fisheye that gives the same FOV as
one for APSC
or FF for that matter, that doesnt mean it will perform as well as a system.

It's even $150 less expensive than the Olympus FourThirds SLR offering, and no
adapter needed. :-)

Sure, but there's nothing like the 8mm fisheye you can get for APS-C for
12mm/e. For most purposes, you're correct that's sufficient, but people
who really care about extreme wide-angle are likely to be less satisfied
with m4/3.
"For most purposes ..." Don't be ridiculous.
A fish-eye lens is a specialty lens, and the ONLY wide-angle lens focal length
not listed in native Micro-FourThirds mount. Perhaps that's because there's a
superb fish-eye lens in FourThirds SLR mount, which work on mFT bodies with any
of the four available, dedicated Panasonic and Olympus FourThirds to
Micro-FourThirds mount adapters for 100% full function operation.
