Not sure I understand this. The Laowa 9mm costs nearly half as much again as the 11-22mm, it's even wider, no zoom, no autofocus, no IS and apparently not usable at f/2.8, so it's effectively no faster (unless you really need to stop subject movement, and that's getting specialised for UWA). If not GAS, then why?

I chalk it up to personal preference.  IOW what and how I like to shoot.  The Laowa is a really good match.
