That's just silly. Allowing full use of aperture rings on legacy lenses appeals to most everyone. Just look at Fuji, Sure those designs are fly by wire but I've never read a review that said; "I wish Fuji would introduce a lens without an aperture ring". Lots of us miss the aperture ring, at least on shorter focal lengths. Reaching the aperture ring on long lenses with that control near the camera body can be a PITA, when shooting hand held, but on anything up to about 200mm the aperture ring on the lens body is a better solution. Change the aperture with you left hand, change shutter with thumb, forefinger shutter release. It's such a natural way or working.
Using the thumbwheel for aperture and front wheel for shutter speed works wonderfully for me. Since getting a camera with the two control wheels I have missed using the aperture ring exactly zero times.
