I didn't even use it on my DSLRs. The info on the rear screen is so much better.

I used to think this way with my DSLR however in practice I use top LCD on DSLR primarily. IMO, it uses less battery than the rear LCD screen.

I think on R, info. on EVF can provide richer info. or similar than what is on DSLR, the top LCD can be less important and perhaps is eliminated on RP.

I don’t worry about battery consumption.  I always carry an extra one.   I don’t need the second battery often, but wouldn’t be without it.

I also shoot fewer pictures than many here.   If I did a lot of burst shooting for sports and wildlife, I would have to pay attention to battery life.
