It's
because Pentax can't make any money selling a DSLR. The amount of cost that
would need to be amortized over the relatively short product life of a DSLR, and
the small number of units that Pentax can sell would make the cost of the camera
very high. There will be fewer manufacturers of interchangeable lens DSLRs
than there are SLRs. This is exactly what happened in the past when major
technologies like AE and AF (which depended on enabling technologies like
electronics and advanced manufacturing techniques) became wide spread. Don't
expect to see DSLRs from Pentax or Minolta.

I can't see why Pentax wouldn't incorporate dSLR into their lineup when they think, both, that they can make a profit on it AND still make it a great value for their customers.
