Why are modern 50mm lenses so damned complicated?

My Olympus does in-body HDR, noise reduction with stacking, low-light handheld with sensor stabilization, and more. It's not "full-frame" but full-frame is a meaningless condescension from the 35mm crowd.

Full frame sensors are quite useful indoors because you can shoot 50mm-e without having to be twice as far away.

For real pretension you have to get a Leica.

Besides that, the main problem with the processing in those cameras is they don't do it to RAW, only to 8-bit JPG, so nothing for HDR displays. iPhone can do fused RAW, 10-bit HEIC, and takes HDR photos and has an HDR display to show them.

It looks like they still don't really plan to add it: https://www.dpreview.com/interviews/9195902169/interview-son...

but at least if they had better bracketing options we could do it ourselves.
