I think that the ONE thing that Hoya/Pentax could have done to make the K-01 more attractive in the marketplace would have been if it had come with an articulating LCD (which would have been the first on a Pentax. If it were like the LCD on a video camera it would have been able to flip for selfies and it would have been useful on the ground or held high overhead (like for shooting/composing over crowds). That would have extended its functionality in situations where a prism finder is useless (and since it lacked one of those one would expect it to justify its existence in the product line in some functional ways).
