What I meant is that if it was truly better then you wouldn't need to explain why it's better.
This makes no logical sense..... Everyone is introduced to a technology in some form... whether it be a friend, TV ad, or a demonstration. If I went back in time and showed someone two strips of nylon cloth; one with tiny plastic loops and another fuzzy textured, laid them out on a table, how would they know it would change many products in the form of velcro? An explanation of the benefits of medication for sickness automatically deem medication not truly better?
Al those points you listed are all well and good, and some photographers probably find them worthwhile, but for me they just seem impractical.
It's kind of like liveview with current DSLRs. Yeah, it's neat and handy, but could I live without it and still do what I do? Of course.
I want to see what's actually through the viewfinder. I want to be able to cleanly frame my shot. I don't want a cluttered Ironman-esque screen displaying what it interprets as what's out there.
The viewfinder LCD and EVF on most (if not all mirrorless cameras) is highly configurable. You can turn everything off if you wish and have a completely un-cluttered view. You can selectively choose what information is presented or not... Unfortunately, most people's idea of using an EVF or LCD for framing is stemmed from the awful experience of doing so on a P&S.... the difference between that and the mirror-less today is like night and day.
