It's cheaper to develop a body that can utilize the digital lenses they already have that way they don't have to recreate their entire line of lenses. The optical quality of the original HG and SHG 4/3 lenses is legendary so why waste all that glass?
Simple answer: Because they are just too big and heavy for m43 cameras, even for an EM5.
A pro OMD body needs high grade m43 zoom lenses like a 12-50 and 40-150, say at f2.8-4 for both. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise.
Only very few m43 users will want to buy and use the classic 43 lenses with an adapter. Not me, anyway.
