We've become a sensitive lot since the introduction of digital direct capture. Photographers have been putting up with all variety of lens distortions and aberrations for years on film but now most of these issues are easily addressed in RAW post processing. Exaggeration of fall off and edge CA is partially a product the Bayer sensor configuration of micro-lenses over sensors, new sensors with high fill factors will overcome some of these limitations. I'd take a FF sensor over a cropped sensor of the same density any day and so it seems would many other photographers given the available cash.
