The GH4 works just fine for me as it is -- as did the GH3.

Do you ever use Auto ISO indoors with a wide angle lens. If you try that you will see the issue.

Why not just use shutter priority and set it for 1/120 if that's what you want? The camera will then open up the lens to maximum aperture and adjust the ISO accordingly. It sounds as though in your examples you'd get the results you want.

The issue is that I don't always want 1/120. I just don't ever want it to go slower than 1/120. If I move into bright sunlight it will have to go faster than 1/120 without an ND filter.

I use the bright primes a lot but that requires to to adjust the shutter speed too often when going in and out of dark and bright areas.

The point of program priority mode is that it is almost completely automated. It is intended for situations where the lighting is not controlled and changing rapidly. It still offers some control over aperture and shutter speed but it has enough automation to handle changing conditions. It can't do this effectively without the min shutter duration setting that the LX7 has.

I see, thanks for clearing that up.
I agree it would be a good feature!
