If you switch to RAW and then compare, you'll see that results for both sensor types are similar, which means Fuji's JPEG engine in Bayer-sensor cameras likely applies more contrast and sharpening by default.

If you switch to RAW and ISO 6400 you will see that X-Trans still has an advantage with lower chroma noise.

But in general, I agree, there's little reason for Fuji to continue using X-Trans in the future. Modern Bayer sensors are excellent so staying with X-Trans is probably a political and marketing statement.
