Depending who you ask, you said: For most "already FF users" , the Pentax is no reason to change systems like it was for some Canon shooters to go Nikon while Canon had no high MP FF and vice versa because Canon had some better lenses (and still has).
My experience with Pentax or other Non-CaNikon cameras is just, you're always in the situation with reduced choices - if those are enough for your needs, you don't care, of course. But things like focus adjustment apps, focus-stacking apps, tethered shooting and more software-based things, or GeoTaggers, remote controls like CamRanger: Pentax is never listed on their "compatible with"-spreadsheets.
Zeiss pulling back from Pentax, in any given shop you can find two or three lenses to try, but dozens of CaNikons. Rental situation the same - I can always rent a 500/4, a PC lens, macro stuff for Canon or Nikon. Pentax?
I'm not mistaken, Pentax is just not the sun in my photo-galaxy. Also, there's no big deal that Pentax starts with a big lens line-up, since few of them are really new, some are rebadged Tamrons (that also says something about lens development at Ricoh/Pentax) and when I browse 5 pages back of Pentax rumors, there are zero new Pentax lenses rumoure or announced... might be coincidence, but there was a nice little gag in the CameraStoreTV resumee of photokina, when they introduce a new "I ♥ Pentax" sticker with a needle.
I'm sorry, looking for jokes about Pentax is not that hard...
Talking about lenses: Adapters for Sony increase the choice for their bodies nearly ten times. Developing DSLRs these times is something like designing new typewriters, with a possibility to whatsapp on a two line LCD... :lol:
