What lenses kept the NX system from pro/prosumer adoption success?

I think this would be an interesting post-mortem discussion. I frequently hear the refrain that Samsung failed to pair their excellent and steadily improving bodies with professional quality and diversity of glass.

I don't think this is an unfair assessment. And I realize that Samsung was already fighting an uphill battle because the NX series was a crop sensor platform, and they didn't have sexy vintage name recognition. But Fuji has managed to get some pro/prosumer adoption where Samsung failed.

What glass do you think Samsung needed to launch with the NX1 to make it more appealing and could have possibly saved the platform?

For me, it's an S version of the 85mm that had fast focus. The 85mm with usable autofocus would have been a reason to buy into the system like the 56mm f/1.2 is for Fuji. But there are others, and I'm interested in what yours would be.
