In its favor, it improves upon the GX8 by losing the anti-alias filter

That's not "in its favor" at all, it's in its detriment. I despise this attitude. I'll take "10% less resolving power" over aliasing artifacts / "moire" any day. Cameras that lack an anti-aliasing filter are absolutely useless for me. I run into those artifacts all the time, especially because of the inability to properly handle the detail from the fabrics of people's clothes.

Your fake "extra-detail" in the form of disgusting aliasing artifacts trumps any slight "resolving power" that your AA-filter-less camera MAY have.

I despise this idiotic trend. Omitting the anti-aliasing filter is one of the most idiotic things anyone can do in an analog to digital sampling product, and it's not even disputable, it's a plain fact.

Cue the BS comments against anti-aliasing.

Anyone who disagrees with you is spewing BS.

Over 2 years now with my GX85, I've never seen moire. So - is that BS? Is it there and I'm just too stupid to see it?

To be fair, if you pixel peep on some of them (especially at 200%, 400% or 500% like in one of the other threads where this was argued), I'm sure there will be some moire. But the point Adielle seems to miss is that 99% of people don't notice it at normal viewing sizes, unless for very special situations (like some cloth patterns). However, the increase in sharpness overall is noticeable (even at reduced resolution, has to do with how oversampling works).
