In what way is it easier? The fact that those cameras don't have an
automatic shutter speed? Sorry but that analysis is just so much sophistry,
but to follow that logic, or lack there of, why not compare that to
other cameras that were designed for those lenses like the K2 or the ME,
it what way is the green button/AE lock method superior?
I personally have noticed inconsistent metering results with a variety
of K/M lenses when using the green button method. The meter just isn't
as accurate or responsive as the level of light decreases, that's just a
fact of life. I don't have those problems when the lenses are used on
the MX and LX. The saving grace of the D is being able to check the
histogram when exposure is critical, but in many situations it would be
nice to be able to just trust the meter. Unfortunately just due to the
nature of the beast you can't.

I use K and M lenses every day on my *istD. No problem. Once you become
accustomed to the button, it's not an inconvenience, it's an automatic.
As many have pointed out, it's actually easier to use K & M lenses on a
DSLR than an MX or K1000, the kind of cameras for which they were
originally intended.
