The other thing and I don't know why camera companies keep on doing it but I can sort of understand is why not supply a prime with the camera bundle rather than a kit zoom all the time?

Panasonic has done this at least twice: 20/1.7 + GF1 and 14/2.5 + GF2. So maybe there's a little hope that they'll revive the practice...

Pairing the GX9 with the 12-60 seemed a bit strange. Maybe they had more 12-60's than they knew what to do with.

In Europe (Germany specifically) the GX9 was kitted with the 12-32, which makes far more sense.

I found a store in Prague that paired it with the 20 f1.7, so that’s the one I actually bought.

In Japan it came with the 15mm 1.7, which is amazing. Wish the import fees justified that one, since I ended up selling the 20 and getting the 15.

I also bought the 12-32, and now the 12-60 PL. So basically, for me, the LUMIX 12-60 is the worst possible kit lens for this camera.
