I don't think it is firmware on this one, I think it comes down to the response of the silicon since it doesn't have a Bayer filter. You would have to choose a color filter when shooting, just as with black and white film. I could make all sorts of technical arguments against it, but it's really just a marketing choice.
Speaking of the k3 III I have found a major frustration with mine being there is no way to get the old RGB histogram view, if you want the histogram, you get all sorts of nonsense that is only useful when shooting jpeg, in other words, useless, and the histogram and preview image are both too small to be useful. It also only has the combined RGB histogram rather than three separate ones. Last night I tried the Ricoh image sync software. With just a little bit of effort they could have made the software completely useless, they only succeeded in making it mostly useless.
