I think the intention here is to design a sort of "last of a lifetime camera". It makes sense in a declining market and if you believe you may be selling the same model for quite some time.

There's an irony to that statement, in that the advantage in AF precision will be most noticeable with large lenses, somewhat negating the notion of MILC providing a more compact system.
Or put another way, if in order to realise the benefits of a system, you need to increase the size and weight of one of the components, then size and weight reduction can't be reasonably assumed to have been the original objective - to any rational mind, at least.
