It allows the designers to unleash their hidden potential:

Pimped Pentax K-x as available in Japanese market.

The special edition Nikon "Gold Edition" Fa with snakeskin inserts was
so '80s.

If they have any. For me, this would be a good reason to fire the
designer. :-)

The next step will be to replace the chrome speed stripe with a row of
blinkenlights, or perhaps to have a red led mounted in the lenses to
give a "HAL 2000" glow out the front.
There's a whole new generation coming up who seem to love that kind of
thing. For my generation, retrophilia seems to be a related disorder,
the BMW "mini" that isn't, and VW with the motor in the wrong place good
examples.

As for Pentax:

"A drowning man will grab even the point of a sword."

And may well be saved? Is that what you mean?

Are you making any plans to jump ship?

I suppose there will be a market for it. I'd like to think though,
that the real creativity is in the user and they would use their
creativity through the lense rather than around it.

In truth this seems a desperate ploy on the part of a product manager
out of marketing ideas.

There certainly is a market for exterior design, if it's done right.
Look what happened to Apple since they introduced their multicolor iMac
G3 in 1998.

I think what I have will keep working for a while anyway.
