Why am I drawn to Olympus/OM System?

This is the kind of post that may drive some of you crazy because it's illogical.  I get it, so feel free to ignore. If you want to continue reading, thanks for hearing me out...

Before I bought my current camera, the Lumix S5ii, a camera I'm enjoying for the most part, I almost bought an OM-1.  For various reasons, that didn't happen and I ended up with the Lumix, whose price was undoubtedly a "good deal".  I've had the camera for just over a year and I've captured several photos I really like.

Ever since I sold my Olympus E-1 many years ago, my fondness and intrigue with Olympus and now OM System really hasn't waned.  And I just don't know why.  What is it about Olympus/OM System and the "inferior" sensor that still appeals to me?  Can anyone else relate to the allure of a particular brand or product that by certain measures is "less than" other products on the market?  Is there a level of subjectivity that pulls at you?  Those are all serious questions...

Thanks for listening.
