They want to reduce costs, and undercut the competition to get people in to the Nikon system.
I have read that it lacks the AF motor so can only AF with AF-S lenses. It might even be the case that it cannot meter with non AF-S lenses, in which case most people will avoid third party lenses. That must be an incentive to Nikon.
