So, Olympus entry level camera comes with a "long in the tooth" 16Mpix sensor and a built-in battery and its so-so kit zoom for a whooping price of 699E.

Just after Fuji released its entry level camera with a "state of art" 24Mpix APS-C and phase+contrast detect AF and a OIS lens for 599E

And with the similarly speced GX850 selling for 450-500E with a much better kit lens.

And a Canon 24 Mpix APS-C M100 + kit lens at an introductory price of 599E

Difficult to understand what makes the E-PL9 so expensive?yy

Any idea?

It is what is. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Not trying to be snarky but your opening paragraph set the tone here.
