These findings are interesting from a technical perspective.

The main questions I have is how much difference does this make to the level of detail in the raw files compared with for instance the Leica and what are the benefits / drawbacks of doing this?

In real world use, will we even notice?

Yeah, since it can't be turned off there is no objective way to measure how detail is affected.

It's certainly true that there are no wide-spread complaints about lost detail so that's a good sign.

If we look at two pictures taken of the same scene, at the same time with the same settings, and if possible with comparable lenses, one by the Leica which has no baked in NR and one with the Canon which does, is there a noticeable difference in detail?
