If Pentax hadn't released the K-1, I doubt they would have released a K3 II replacement that would have been a D500 clone, which I guess is what Tony Northup thinks. Brilliant tracking auto focus is not (and hasn't been) Pentax's strong point and a top end sports camera would have sold fewer copies for Pentax than the K-1 will.
The K-1 certainly doesn't have a full lens line up yet and isn't a perfect camera, but for the price, it is hard to beat. The lenses that are added to the line up that cover full frame can easily be used on APS-C cameras as well and fill in the lineup nicely from that respect. Having the K-1 also takes away the line of reasoning: "You shouldn't buy Pentax, if you want to move up to full frame, they don't have one."
