Sony needs AFMA as it has lens adapters that use msemi-sivered mirrors for AF integration of older lenses.

Both Nikon and Olympus use PDAF and both have an inventory of legacy lenses that may need this help.

Fuji has PDAF but does not have AFMA ans it has no legacy lenses.

Panasonic uses CDAF, which, for all the criticism it gets, does not need AFMA as it uses direct measuring of the image.

Canon uses Dual Pixel AF which is a variant of PD.

It may turn out that all the lenses have an AF profile that is uniform for all .

We actually don't know what caused the issue and thus, like me, are speculating.
