Constantly repeating the phrase "class leading rolling shutter" does not make it true.

According to DPR...

17ms

Tops the list

Do you think that the entire crop sensor camera market consists of only 4 models?

Which other crop model has faster rolling shutter? Without cropping, no pun intended.

First, you need to recognize that the 17ms rating on the M6 II comes with major caveats.  The M6 II reaches 17ms via pixel binning and line skipping during 4k recording.  It is a full width readout, but very far from a full sensor readout.  This is a bit like saying your set the world record for the 1500m when you only ran one lap around the track.  If the M6 II was doing full sensor readout like the competition, the rolling shutter would be somewhere in the high 30's.

Switching from video to the 18mp RAW burst mode, your rolling shutter is in the mid 20 something millisecond range.  When shooting regular photos with electronic shutter, you are now at 46ms.  This is similar to the Sony cameras you like to complain about and far from class leading.

Regardless of all of the caveats with the M6 II, the Fuji X-T3 beats it with a 16ms rating while doing oversampled full sensor readout 4k video.  That is class leading.
