Leaving the aperture simulator off probably leads to some lens sales, as it makes using the K and M versions somewhat cumbersome, thereby encouraging upgrades. On the other hand, I don’t think a lot of users care. In my opinion, the camera works fine without it. I don’t mind using the green button or a handheld incident meter.
