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? )))

Camera settings! At least the most commonly changed ones.  That's why those cameras don't need an eye sensor.  Whats so hard to understand about that?

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.

Yes not everything is on the top panel, but the most common settings are.  I'm very familiar with Canon cameras.  I've been using them for about 40 years.
