That makes perfect sense. The EF mount versions however are extremely good, and mint copies can be had for less than a third of what you'll pay for a native RF version. For 99% of T/S photography, people will be using a tripod and focusing manually, so personally I question the *need* for AF - it seems more like a marketing *feature* than something of practical value.
So, I'm a 1%... since I never use my TSE on a tripod. ;)

How about powered tilt&shift? The body could have something similar to the focus bracketing feature, but instead of moving the focus, it shifts the lens. And when its done, give you a JPEG composite of the result.
That's exactly what I've been thinking of, but imagine how expensive such a lens would be.
Nikon's TS 19mm costs about Euro 3800, without any motorization or AF...
