It is now. Batteries, motor winds, all that electronics. Batteries.
It all takes up too much space.

Knowing Pentax, they'd have tried! If you are used to the Nikon F2 or FM2 the MX looks rather impossible.
Olympus managed "pro" cameras in a very small body (OM3, OM4) albeit with somewhat later technology. Nobody else has really made a small "pro" SLR which does suggest it is difficult.
