They will never have the margins that they need to reintroduce lenses
like they used to have if they bog down new offering with compatibility
features that appeal to an extremely small market share.

yes, but those decades old lenses are better than the zero lenses they
offer now of the same formula.

I'd expect all A, F and FA lenses would work with a FF Pentax. That's
a lot of legacy glass. If they keep the
green-button-stop-down-metering feature, there is still compatibility
with even older glass.
I'd like to see Pentax put more effort into attracting new buyers who
will want new lenses and leveraging that to rebuild the product line.
Investing in the very small number of people who bought lenses
decades ago and don't want to upgrade is not a good business
strategy, especially when your current products support this market
segment better than most of your competitors.

I really think ricoh/pentax would be wise if they had a design goal
of the first ff dslr to be compatible
with the greatest number of LEGACY K mount lenses as possible. FF
and APS-C . This is simple logic because they dont have a line of FF
lenses to sell yet. Anything less than that will be a failure in my
honest opinion.
