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? 😁

Funny!

It should be possible to experiment and determine which sharpen settings are equivalent.

For example, if you turn your X-T20 up to +11, and your X-T100 down to -11, does sharpening look the same? Sorry for the Spinal Tap reference. I realize Sharpness is only +4 to -4.

What looks different to me is mostly that the X-T100 produces redder (less green) JPEG with slightly higher brightness. This makes sense when you compare the number of green sensor pixels. Noise is "different" at high ISO but so what.

I don't feel that it's fair to compare ACR converted RAF, but perhaps Darktable with identical settings would make a fair comparison.

X-Trans seems like NIH at this point.

Never apologise for a Spinal Tap reference:)
