No.
Agreed. Reasons that are just as important or more important (subjective) for people to use EVFs over OVFs:
- The ability to see your final product before you take it (causing a reduction or elimination to chimping)
- The ablility to reduce size
- The ability to reduce weight
- The ability to more easily review your photos in bright sunlight
- The ability to see more information in the viewfinder (focus peaking, zebras, histograms...)
I'm not saying OVFs don't have their advantages (though personally, I see few), but I would not say video is the main driver (most of the people I know buy mirrorless cameras for photography not videography), and many would argue mirrorless is actually the one that's better for photography than DSLRs. Almost all the photographers I know never had DSLRs and went to mirrorless, had a DSLR and went to mirrorless, or have a DSLR and want to switch to mirrorless. Some of them shoot a lot of video with their ILCs, but most don't.
