It is, you can always get a Nikon D5100. Pentax chooses not to have
that point of failure.
Just yesterday I was walking out of a local dry goods emporium when I
was almost bowled over by an unhappy customer Kuerig coffee maker
clutched to their breast, with murder in their eye, on the way to the
complaint department. Pentax probably want's to avoid such scenarios as
much as possible.
The K500 is a bargain among entry level cameras, you get the full
capabilities of the mid level camera for a price closer to that of the
most basic Canon Rebel. All you seem to lose is weather sealing. That
seems like a good deal, not something to upbraid the company about.

Another point of failure? Sure, sort of like electric windows, air
conditioning and other options on cars. On balance, it should be up to
the consumer whether he wishes to have them or not. Sales figures
would determine whether it was worthwhile for a company to offer the
option or now. It would certainly be one way of separating your
flagship product from the more basic lines (something that Pentax
seems to have a problem with, ATTM. The K-500 is hardly different from
the K-50, for instance).

Well, convenient as articulating screens are, they just add another point of
failure to an already complex device. I can understand why a manufacturer
would forgo making models with this feature.

THIS is the reason for articulating LCD screens. I think that if
camera companies are going to make duplicate models except for the
anti-alias filter then they could also make duplicate models
with/without an articulating LCD screen.
