Lack of up to date pancakes in M43?

Given that the 12mm F2 and 17mm& 25mm F1.8 weigh so little and have a small mass I am not sure why a pancake would be any more advantageous?

I used to have the old 17mm F2:8, ok not stellar , but there was no advantage in the form factor. The pleasing upgrade to the 17mm F1:8 was the lovely MF clutch. Not sure a pancake can match the handling of the mid range Olympus primes?
