I sort of suspect they noticed that they can make bucket loads of money with these (popular) lenses.
The FE 50mm f/1.8 surely doesn't cost more than 50$ in production and the development effort was low.
The profit margins for the Sonnar and Planar are probably perverse.
Honestly I don't think that Sony is making much money with their cameras but they are ripping you apart on the lens side.
