They keep the features consumers want. I hope they won't drop it. But who knows. Even Pentax may have to go for cheaper manufacturing of lenses. Also, for any critical aperture control, the aperture ring is the only way. AV wheel is always the approximation. Full of measurment data to prove it. Even Pentax manufacturing people say so, although in low voice. Canon loves the approximation. If you feel their focusing is faster, but Z-1p hunts to the last bit of focus adjustment, that's because Canon's focus algorithm stops at certain range of approximation way before any Pentax focusing system stops dead on.
