Yes, and in lenses like the 55-300mm PLM, Pentax demonstrates mastery over that "simple engineering". :D

Companies haven't quite figured this out yet, but 'push' by them is less important than 'pull' from consumers; their success depends on their delivering what the customers want. I moved from Pentax to Canon in 1995 because I considered Canon's EF/USM lenses to be superior to what Pentax was trying to sell; I was not alone - the transition to AF is one of the times when Canon became a market leader {I moved back to Pentax in 2015 because I had reliability issues with Rebel bodies}. In other areas, Coke was forced by market forces to go back to "Old Coke", and IBM's fabled marketing wasn't able to maintain the company's dominant position.

The important question should be: what tracking ability does a particular individual need? I took the photos below one week ago - using the DA 55-300 PLM + 1.4X TC on a KP (I believe I was using 9-point AF} while we were at Pt Pelee National Park in Canada; they are not great photos, but this combination delivered what I needed. After that {long} weekend, I'm convinced that combination can attain {and maintain} focus on anything I can get into the viewfinder ..... unlike my K-30, I am now the weak-link in wildlife shots, and I am comfortable with that.
