I had this same problem with my X-E1.  My X-T100 had an off-on switch that was much more resistant to being turned on accidentally.

Unfortunately my X-T3 and X-E4 both have off-on switches that are easily turned on accidentally.  They are a little better than my X-E1 was, but not much.  I don't own a X100 of any kind.

It looks like the X100V has a better off-on switch that should be more resistant to being turned on accidentally, because the front bump on the switch is slightly recessed behind the front edge of the case.  This might be an engineering improvement.

I agree the off-on switch in Fujis is a continuing problem though.

About the flash, it might be underpowered but still good as fill flash in daylight, and with the leaf shutter the sync speed is very high.  For more, the hotshoe is available of course.
