IIRC it was $80 when I bought it, and I did not think it was worth over $60.

I'm in Europe, min. price I could find was ~165 USD. That's a lot.

With her strong element of common sense, she told me, in quite blunt terms, that I was letting $20 stop me.

Right she was, indeed!

My first E-mount body, which I still use, also had only a screen. This one tilts, so most of the time I am fine holding at waist level.

Hm, unfortunately, eyesight tends not to improve with age...

But there are some occasions where eye level viewing is best.

Oh yes.

The other is that I don't know if there are even any such cameras still in production outside of the 'tough' genre.

You mean cameras without viewfinders? Plenty, as far as I can tell, really.

But if some brilliant engineering team in Tokyo were to develop a camera I just had to have, and it did not have a viewfinder, I would go for it knowing I could attach a Hoodman.

Right, essentially my case with the TG-6.
