So far I found GX7 will not. Weird 🤔?

Would try the older models to see would GX7 be the only exception.

GH1, GH2 and presumably GH5s  saves the raws in the defined aspect ratio (4:3, 3:2 or 16:9) because of the multi-aspect-ratio sensor. I am not sure how 1:1 is saved (as 4:3 I guess).

I would assume that JPEG embedded to the raw file has the aspect ratio selected from the camera. In theory it is possible that the software is not actually working with the raw file, but JPEG (or even the embedded JPEG on the raw file).
