Loads more money for a lot less contrast?

Who is buying these Meyer-Optics lenses ?
1700EUR is the price of a Leica M-Summarit 90mm f/2.4 ...

They shaved off 5mm from the focal length and 0.2 from the aperture number! Did that make the lens 5-7% cheaper? Apparently not... Their pricing is as daft as ever: one could get two copies of the Canon 100/2.8 L IS macro for that price, or almost a whole 85/1.2 L II. I fully expect someone to point out that fact to the world, and I wonder if someone will start blathering about "da unique look" or other supposed merits of this primitive 3 element lens...

I don't think a photographer getting this lens would get it for actually shooting with it, it's obvious.
I don't even think the potential customers are pro photographers, but the same persons who would pay +1000$ for a necktie.

Just checked the sample pictures, very poor contrast, the colors have nothing to be called appealing (and I suppose this is what we see after post processing) by no means this is a lens for photographers.
