Or could it be that the only reason the camera will use CF is because it was designed by Konica Minolta before Sony bought out their camera business....?
This is exactly correct. The support for CF is from Sony's buyout of Konica-Minolta. Not wanting to alienate current users, they continued the CF support for the Alpha but ship the camera with a Memory Stick -CF adapter.
