Very well said and totally accurate. The whole size, weight, cost, etc, arguments are total and complete BS. There have been many small, light, and inexpensive cameras made with the in camera focus motor included by various manufacturers. The removal of the focus motor was simply a decision by Nikon to promote and enhance the sale of their newer AFS lenses, and nothing more.
Sure there are advantages to the AFS lenses such as quieter operation which is better for video. However, as you correctly point out, having an in body focus motor does absolutely nothing to diminish the use of AFS lenses. Instead, having an in body focus motor simply makes the camera a more versatile tool that is able to auto focus with many more lenses.
It is a difficult argument to make on a Nikon forum. There are some who will forgive Nikon of darn near anything as they are true fans of Nikon. I am no more attached to Nikon than I am to my Ryobi drill...merely a tool. But similarly, when Ryobi decides to pull support for the Ryobi-One system I'll be pretty mad knowing it will be to bolster sales in their Ryobi-Two system. Very few corporations respect their customer base to any great degree and those that do should be rewarded. It is clear that modern Nikon does not.
There are others here that are not affected by the focus motor issue as they have no older style lenses. Their unconditional love for Nikon is also short sighted as they will surely be the next generation to have this happen to them. When I read many of their posts I even get the impression that they somehow enjoy the discomfort others feel as their beloved lens collection loses value (both in utility and resale).
