I realise it's a common aggravation for Pentax users, but in all honesty it really doesn't bother me. The lenses were designed to be used rather than revered, in my view, so if someone uses or modifies them to work on a different make of camera, I think it's all good
It's really quite flattering, really towards Pentax! Of course, it's also a bit sad, seeing modifications happen that are irreversible...

A K 50mm f1.2 or K 28mm f2 with a lever snapped off, it's like seeing a tiger in a zoo ...

Soon the only place there will be Tigers. Now that Pentax has a FF maybe the supply for Canon users will dry up. Go ruin some Nikkors...

Already true of the South China variety.

Should be able to declare some lenses 'Protected Species'.

The other guys have to buy adapters to get focus confirmation with a manual lens. Pentax...it just works.

It is actually quite strange how they can mess that up so....unless it is on purpose....which it probably is.
