The Pentax move to compact digital SLRs and high quality DA lenses

They're not going to be successful trying to satisfy a luddite
minority.
If the lenses still had full frame capability and aperture rings they
would
gain even more sales. I could argue/discuss the point for hours but in
the
end what possible harm could be done by satisfying both parties and
leaving
the aperture ring in place?
Simple. They have decided that the additional sales (to you, Mike, Kostas
and JCO) won't justify the additional cost and complexity.
