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!)

A high end user could always dial up the in-camera sharpening if that is their preference. The only downside is you can’t really undo it later if you added too much. I don’t typically shoot jpegs, but I don’t think running your sharpening settings in the “+” realm is necessarily problematic. My in-camera sharpening  set at +2 and don’t consider the jpegs oversharpened.
