Leica isn't about what make sense per se. Otherwise, they will not be making
Noctilux 0.95 for $10000. You can buy the much maligned d3X and a couple
Nikkor lens for that price!!

Leica is about, what you can do if you have the money.

It's like driving a Ferrari on a freeway - because you can.

Whether it is a strategy that works of not, time will tell.
