Why no Olympus "pro" standard zoom

I don't think they will, since they already have a fairly comprehensive pro/semi-pro/enthusiast range of lenses with the regular 4/3 system, all I believe are sealed.

It's much more likely they will make a pro or semi-pro camera this year that will accept m4/3 and regular 4/3 lenses natively.

The m4/3 glass out there is sort of a mess, with wildly ranging performance figures, many of which are small, but unsealed, as m4/3 was likely initially conceived as a smaller, compact system to go alongside 4/3, instead of superceeding it. Olympus may make a pro line of lenses for m4/3 in the later future for future OM-D sucessors, but it doesn't seem likely in the near future.
