They need one in the $600-900 range.
It's big, heavy, and expensive because it's an f/2.8 zoom.
There is no philosophy of DX (certainly not when DX was conceived) - DX came about because FX sensors were simply too expensive and difficult to make in the beginning.
It's also big and heavy because it's built like a gold ring tank. F2.8 zooms exist, but only in 3rd party (Sigma, Tamron). They're comparable, cheaper, and lighter. Nikon appears to not consider native DX gold ring fast zoom lenses a commercially viable proposition.
