Its an added feature of a more robust build, get any camera with weather sealing and you will generally find it can take more knocks and abuse, have a more durable shutter etc.

Would you call a long life Duracell battery a gimmick, they cost more and are more reliable than the basic batteries.

You made a lot of generalized statements there. You assumed a lot. Did you read the Olympus disclaimer that pretty much negates all of those benefits that you assumed were covered?

I bought a new electrical kettle today, looking at the warranty and what is covered this must also be a gimmick, maybe I will be better off using a pan on the stove to boil water.
