People who claim the old ways are best usually haven't given the new ways a proper chance.

I doubt that I'd last long in my present job if I didn't give new stuff a try
but I reject stuff that just doesn't improve the job at hand. I get to use
all types of cameras both film and digital - Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Fuji etc.
sadly not many Pentax, I still prefer the aperure control on the lens. I'm
not saying that body aperture control is wrong I'm just stating a preference.

It may be cost-cutting, but it makes sense. Aperture control on the camera body is faster and just as easy as turning the dial on a lens. Did you notice even Nikon is ditching aperture rings on most of their lenses?
I've gotten a lot of stubborn, crotchety old photographers (usually men) in my shop who dislike body-controlled aperture when they come in, but love it once they've had a chance to really try it out in the real world. Something tells me you're the rare type who just won't be happy with anything new, even if it's actually better. I'd suggest giving this new stuff a try, but somehow I doubt you'll take it into consideration.
