The GX1/GX7 was when Panasonic got it right. To this day, I want to point blame to need it.

Well the Jury is in when it comes to Street Photography, where most use a Rangefinder, or Styled like one. No one is using a flippy screen to take low or high angle shots. A titlable screen is much more discreet. Protecting the screen is a waste of time and another step in losing the shot.

This is oversimplified and too broad of a statement. Street photographers also shoot vertically, at least most of them do. And screen protection is not a waste of time. Outside the fact that nobody shoots instantaneous all the time, having the OPTION to protect the screen is always welcome

I use it, wish my X-E3 had it, love that my Z6 has it. My XT1/2 has it and gets use. My G5 has a flippy screen and is only used when shooting video and on a tripod.

Welll because YOUonly use it that way does not mean everyone else does

screens has its use for video and vlogging. But shooting Street? No, far from it.

Again speaking for yourself. This is assuming street photography is ONLY for horizontal shots. This is obviously not the case

I have been taking vertical shots for decades without an FAS. My tilt screen cameras such as the E-M10II, etc can easily take vertical photos.

Of course we have. In the same vein we have photographed without live view or electronic viewfinders, without motors, without ND filters, and  many other things.

You are missing my point. I am saying that for those who like to use the LCd to compose and shoot vertically regularly, a tilt screen is not an advantage

in ly view this is important for the recent GX cameras like the GX85 and Gx9 which have a very mediocre viewfinder  and not simply because of the sequential field feature
