In other news, I hear that some farmers where angry when Lamborghini sold their tractor division and concentrated on making silly sports cars instead.
Leica just isn't that company anymore and hasn't been in a while. The fact that their luxury goods will also produce decent pictures in the hands of a skilled photographer doesn't make them any less so. No matter what their marketing says, Leica does not cater to professional artists, no more than Rolex ownership is about knowing the time of the day.
You sound pretty angry and bitter about it, but you're probably just venting. Anyway, if this does bother you so much that it becomes a moral issue for you, I suggest you stop using Leica rather sooner than later, because the Leica of the 1950s that was about photojournalists and artists is gone and is not coming back.
