Probably the main reasons are that it doesn't have IBIS and for some people it's too small and fiddly. I have the GM1 and think it's great with the tiny but excellent pancake zoom, truly pocketable, and its a stabilised lens.

The E-PL7 got a mention right at the start but not again, not sure why. I have an E-Pl5 and the PL7 fixes most of what I would want in a carry-around camera (wifi, 0-second antishock, improved IBIS - but not the 5 axis of more recent cameras, live composite mode, extra dial). I've only handled one briefly in a store, though, so can't say how it all works out in practice.
