I feel that we aren't paying anything extra for the features that we may not use. We are paying for the features that we must have. The PZ-1p has as many features as many higher priced cameras but is more economically priced, as is the MZ-S.
Pentax didn't make a PZ-1p or an MZ-S in models with less or more features that you can choose, so why do you feel that you are paying extra for the features that you don't use? Just consider these features as being at no extra cost and either use them or not as you desire. Some time in the future you may actually find a need for a specific feature that you have never used before and you'll be happy it is available.
