Why would they do this, because they remove CFA with microlenses (on front-illuminated sensor), QE will surely be not any better than it was

We're frequently careless about what is meant by QE.
Here in the fora we generally mean of the entire stack and not just the pixel.
So removing the cut filter improves QE.
And removing the Color Filter Array (CFA) improves QE.
But removing the micro-lens degrades QE.

It appears that the net result is improved QE.

I'd love to do my usual tests on a modded camera.
So if anyone is willing to take the required raw images they should contact me.
