I agree, Leicas should be able to operate in adverse conditions and not
leak water and dust etc.
As for todays users not using them in adverse conditions, I use mine no
matter what the conditions. Since I have bought my M6TTL it has spent many
hours in the rain and snow and so far it has held up and has not leaked at
all. My R4SP and Leicaflex SL over the past 15 years have both been used
in the woods on hiking trips and in the So. Cal. deserts, in the snow and
bounced around in jeeps and they just keep ticking. So I guess I'm one of
those who expects his Leica to go anywhere.

Uh, why not? What would it take to seal off the viewfinder? I would
contend that a $2000 camera body could indeed be properly sealed in
terms of the viewfinder, and preventing moisture, dust, etc, from
getting in around openings in the top plate.
On the other hand, very, very few of today's Leica users subject their
cameras to environmental hazards.;-)
