There are two ways of "correcting" CA. One will improve resolution, one won't.
Not all CA can actually be corrected the "right" way, that very much depends on the wavelength(s) that are offending.
Correcting distortion will lose resolution. You can not just look at resolution and think "you can not recover details", and then also say distortion correcting is easy and not problematic, as it will lose you more resolution than you think.

A formal bokeh analysis is pointless for slow speed lenses. We're talking about a "27-83mm f/5-8" here. There're a few bokeh shots in the sample image section though. As far as flare is concerned - show us a really reliable method with field relevance.
As far as your correction argument is concerned - frankly, I'd guess that 80% of the users do not care. They want to have everything fixed right out-of-the-box. Panasonic is just doing that which is probably one factor for their recent success.
