Because more resolution to the digital world (CMOS/CCD) is what is
needed according to the comparison to old world principles of the
mastery and marriage of film and a well made lens.

Olympus is claiming their new E-1 lenses have greater resolution and
this is a necessity for their new system, as well as one of their
reasons for not offering the OM adapter.  I am skeptical about this. 
Why are they all of a sudden able to produce lenses of supposedly
superior resolution?  What new technology in glass or lens design has
enabled this?  Why have no other manufacturers come up with it?  For
years, the various manufacturers have been in hot competition to win
the best lens resolution test scores, and the Zuikos were always at
least in the top tier of lenses.  If there was a way to make a lens
with higher resolution, why didn't all the manufacturers jump on it?
