Not sure why anyone expected this to be more than a M11 without a rangefinder window - the rumors on this has been consistent for a while.
Because when looking at Canon's and Nikon's manual focus assist implementations, we probably have assumed that Leica, being the stallward guardian of the manual focusing experience, will release something even more advanced. If you follow Leicarumors site, you probably have seen various mockups of what that can be.
Instead, they released the laziest MF assist implementation imaginable: a magnifier+edge highlighting. This turns the EV1 into, literally, the worst focusing camera in the world. It doesn't autofocus, and its manual focus is of the most basic type.
