Blame it on the market. It has been tried a couple of times before Leica's Monochrom, but with no success. One of the reasons might by that excellent B&W films are still available and images from that medium compete nicely against even Leica's sensor and are superior to what can be accomplished with conversion from RGB digital.

Resolution is not the issue that pixel shift addresses. What it gives you is the full output of all 4 "sensels", effectively walking around the data loss due to the Bayer processing. This resulting in higher detail capture and more natural tonal transitions overall. A straight monochrome conversion from a merged pixel shift image is able to take advantage of that, but even better would be to leverage the four images for greater bit depth while retaining the color channel information to allow optical filter and film-type emulation. That is what the Leica Monochrom does.

I have wondered the same thing. In theory, a monochrome tuning of PS should provide results similar in quality to the Leica Monochrom.
