Why no in-camera CA correction on Olympus bodies?

There appear to be three different topics.

Why does Olympus not implement CA correction for Olympus lenses? This is a good question and one that someone interviewing Olympus management should ask?

Why does Olympus not implement CA correction for Panasonic lenses? I would be surprised if they did. Does HP or Epson make it easy to refill ink cartridges with other manufactures ink? I don't know any manufactures that would want to make some other company's product more attractive. They may have done so if they had entered into some financial agreement with Panasonic, but they ended up doing so with Sony.

How much computing power is necessary to correct for CA and is it lens specific and how easy is it to implement? While I worked for years as a college professor working with a group doing computer based decision support, have programmed in several languages, and worked for 17 years as OIT director for one college and Academic Computing Officer for another university, I have no idea concerning the difficulty of such implementation. While your PC may be able to make such corrections quickly, remember it has a much more powerful processor and far more memory than your camera. The camera has the advantage of having a program which can be specific to the cameras processor and lenses. Only someone familiar with digital camera programming and optics can answer questions about difficulty of in camera CA correction, and I do assume that several of the responders to this issue must have that experience.
