I assume this is because you can’t show the “corrected” lens through an OVF, but the EVF gives you all the distortion correction?

I think yes. And another issue is that only the most expensive DSLRs have the best OVFs. Most others had a less than 1.0 magnification and less than 100% coverage.

Even the Canon 1dx III is 0.75x magnification (but 100% coverage).

That miniaturisation coupled with uncorrected UWA makes the OVF quite trippy.

EDIT: In fact without the miniaturisation it will be quite cumbersome to frame the image with the OVF. Will have to move the eye a lot.

I started off in DSLRs with the Olympus 4/3rds E-500 and that had a tiny tunnel like pentamirror OVF.
