Wrong question. It should be: "Why would somebody not buy the D FA 28-105?". This lens is THAT good (for its price).
If having an additional APS-C kit works for you, by all means... but the D FA 28-105 is lighter and much less expensive than a KP with a 16-85. The D FA 28-105 is actually a bit smaller and lighter than the 16-85, as well as cheaper.
It also doesn't have to be your only lens. Throw in a few high-quality primes, a long tele zoom (like the 150-450) and you have pretty much everything covered.
As an ultra-light walk-around solution, I'm thinking of a GR (or something similar). A few specialized choices - walk around lens, high-quality, long lens, ultra-portable - rather than a "generalist" f/2.8-trio kit and then a smaller kit which isn't really that small.
But that's me.
