So you are saying that Zeiss, Nikon, Canon, Olympus, etc. are unable to achieve these levels of precision or really is it that if they did their lenses would be as expensive as Leica?

Well, Roger\'s current bench tests make the Sony Natives look.......not optimal in quality.
There is copy variation in Leica glass for sure. But I\'ll be surprised if it\'s that much. Or even remotely close.
As to Leica M lenses \"falling apart\"; this is misleading. Like the ZM lenses, the front groups can become loose and you need a special tool to access the screws which need to be tightened. You send it to DAG for under 100 bucks they are like new. Tight. I did this once with 28 cron and SEM 21.
That screws can loosen over time is not the same as a decentered or soft lens.
