It's sad Shimano won't play for the reason you stated but I'm glad FSA jumped in, competition will make thing for us cheaper and better.
I like too that FSA offer different lever sizes, that would be a plus for me.

Sad? I doubt shimano really cares..yes, they follow some trends but their success shows that a 'fickle' company they are not(BB30 cranks come to mind as does use of carbon).
3-4 times bigger than all of sram, easily 10 times bigger than Campagnolo. Function/reliability to shimano means something. Their basic STI lever, even electronic, hasn't changed in 35++ years. They didn't introduce a LOT of their stuff, both road and MTB, until they were sure about it..unlike sram who uses the end user as their product tester.
Ease of assembly doesn't mean much to shimano.
IMHO, of course...
