People like to know what you can do using the brand. It inspires them. People don't care much about what you can't do. It has no relevance unless you intend to switch brands.
But now I'm really curious, in what field of photography do you depend on 1.4 glass? Especially since modern AF systems are calibrated for ƒ2.8 so almost all 1.8, even lenses like the Sigma 18-35 1.8 have problems obtaining reliable focus. There are some Pentax options, like DA*55 1.4, and a few Sigma lenses, their 85 1.4 as well as an FA* 1.4, the Sigma 30 1.4etc.. You've tried these lenses and found them wanting?
OK< be honest, if you owned all the glass you've requested in K mount, how many would you carry at once and how many would always be home on the shelf?
Or is "lenses Pentax doesn't currently make that I want but might not pay for" all you find interesting?
Your great list of 1.4 glass is not accompanied by any explanation of what you would use them for or why 1.8 glass won't do.
I have to admit, of the pros I know personally, I don't know a single guy like you. Many of them own gear have options in your wheel house, but none of them owns a gear list like you are requesting. Most have a1.4 lens or two in preferred Focal Lengths, none keep a whole stable of ƒ 1.4 lenses.
