This is one of the times I wish some know-how engineer from Fuji is reading these posts and is willing to chime in to explain things. Why would a lower end camera have better JPEG output than a higher end one? I have an X-T3 and I almost exclusively shoot JPEG.

Define "better" - they are more contrasty and higher perceived sharpness. I think the first reply answered that question. Typically, more consumer level products have increased sharpening, as they know those types of users are less likely to edit them in post.

While I get the first reply point, I still don't know why would Fuji do that. Just because my camera is of higher end doesn't mean its SOOC JPEG should look mushier than that of a lower end one. What would I lose with a little more of in-camera sharpening? Perhaps I am missing something!
