The talk of eye sensors got me thinking and I fetched my 70D. It also does not have an eye sensor. The default operation is for the screen to turn off if the shutter button is depressed.

Correct, the eye sensor is unique to the Rebel line.

The point was the technique is common, not "an awkward workaround".

But all Canon DSLRs except the rebel line have a top panel LCD display.

I don't see how that would be relevant.

((( Edit: What do you think is shown on a top LCD?  )))

These cameras don't really need a back panel to display info anyway so no big deal about eye sensor.

"These cameras" have more info and settings available only on the back panel. You really should try one sometime.
