Thats BS. I don't deny Leica quality at all, but lack of control for even more money is snobbery and plays to a sort of placebo effect, "it must be always awesome at default settings because Leica knows best". It's similar with insanely expensive audio gear that only has a volume knob. It's wanky and just a market differentiator based on arrogance and ego. The green setting on most DSLR has the same effect without the lack of versatility when you want it.
