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!

Perhaps the high-end users more likely to tweak the settings to their own liking, vs the low-end users tend to leave everything at default?

Maybe the boomers have more money for high-end, but their vision are no longer as good? 😁

Yes --that's the argument Clive99 was proposing. What I'm saying is: what would a high end user lose from a little bit of in-camera sharpening? If nothing is lost, then they should apply the same parameters for both JPEG engines. Just my opinion (of course I could be wrong!)

The argument seems to be that serious users (apparently more likely to use a camera with an x-trans sensor) are more likely to be willing to fiddle with jpeg settings to dial in jpeg to where they want.

So maybe they might prefer it a bit softer for a more natural effect, or they want to keep the jpeg's as flat as possible so they have a bit of latitude for post processing (yes some people shoot jpeg and plan to pp).

I'm not saying this argument is correct, just that this appears to be line of thinking.
