Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the DA lenses cover the 6×4.5 sensor size, which shows that whoever made the decisions at Pentax at the time believed that eventually 645 mount cameras will have true 6×4.5 sensor. There is a good reason to believe it could make economical sense, since the production tend to lower with time. I mean, when K-5 was launched, it had $1,750 MSRP, the K-1 was at $1,800, which is actually cheaper if you include the inflation.
Of course, it helps the K-1 that a very similar sensor is used by other brands (that shall not be named) which helps to offset the costs. My point is that the price for sensor production is falling and what might not make financial sense today might be reasonable tomorrow.
Finally, we just don't know the price the Hasselblad pays for that 53×44mm˛ sensor. Perhaps the camera costs a fortune not because of the expenses, but because there are people willing to pay.

If the next 645 camera is true 6x4.5 sensor camera with 100Mp, it will have the same pixel pitch as 645Z, which has about same pixel pitch as K-1 and K-5.
