Why do I need faster shutter speed for hand held shots with 24 mp ?

Yes, that practice would indeed cushion you from a bump in MP sensor count. It's when you are right at or below 1/FF=FL that it starts to show weaknesses of our hand holding technique the most.

It made me recall back when the X-E1 (and X-Pro1, presumably) Auto ISO meant auto, it selected the SS. That was 1/FF=FL, the 35mm hit 1/52 and that ended up being very unsatisfactory quite quickly, with manual SS becoming the norm. The update with selectable SS caused much joy except with those who complained that it didn't track FL with a zoom, much like today
