I see it in my G3 'all the time' and it 'does not bother me at all'.

Seeing it all the time does not mean it bothers you.

You just need to know how to see it. Then you can see it reliably every time you try. The easiest would be with a data projector of field sequential technology - a lot of them are. Not by looking at the projected image, but by looking at the lens when it is projecting. Best from a side angle as you don't want to stare directly into a bright projector lens. Move your eye from side to side quickly enough the entire front of the lens becomes a rainbow.

After a few times of that, seeing it in an EVF is easy. And it still would not bother most people after that.

Even given that, when you can buy a camera without this colourful effect for less money, why bother with the more expensive item unless you enjoy this show?
