I would love to see this. There’s lots of excellent M43 glass, so Pentax would not have to come up with a full range straight away.
I currently use an Oly Pen EP5. It’s beautiful but the menu designers really need to talk to Pentax about how to do it right

The perfect camera is one that sells enough to pay for the R and D. If Pentax makes a camera that only you and a hundred other people buy because it is underspecified then it will actually be very expensive. Things like video and jpeg engine are software costs that are already paid for. Removing them, though makes the camera much less saleable.
I do understand that people have this impression that if you removed all of the features they don't need (weird filters, composition adjustment, video) that somehow you could knock the price down. But, if, as you say, you have pixel shift then you have to have the IBIS and if you have GPS then you have the astro tracer too.
Long story short, I bought a K-1 on release. It was a good deal then and it's still a good deal today. Pentax probably could knock a few dollars off by leaving off the flip screen and going with cheaper body construction, but it probably wouldn't be a huge price drop -- certainly not enough to get it down into the 1000 dollar range.
