Keeping their friends close and their enemy closer. This collaboration stops Tamron from undercutting them. One less competitor.

I love primes - absolutely love them. When I want something photographed right, I put a prime on the camera. But exactly how many WR primes do we have in the Pentax lineup right now that aren't bank-breaking DA* types? Just one, the D-FA 100/2.8 WR macro. Everything else is professional grade with a price to match, and even if you had more money than God, all of it is at least short-tele on an APS-C body; there are currently no WR primes at all below 55mm.
Sometimes optics have to take second place to practicality. When the rain is coming down and I absolutely need to be in it taking a picture, and/or when the subjects are shifting distance with rapidity that makes reaching for and changing lenses to suit almost impossible without missing something, I would rather have a slightly second-rate picture than none at all. So until we get some wide angle WR/AW primes, it's zoom or stay home.
