The thing is as well, how much do you have to pay to get an EVF that's almost as good as a Pentax K3iii, K1 or even KP OVF. Quite a substantial sum more than the cost of the Pentax.

EVF and OVF are vastly different. E.g. on an OVF you cant magnify part of the image to check accurate framing or focus. And although I like OVFs, I find the view in the K1 pretty small to be honest. Different tools for different preferences and/or applications.

Re. the price, you may be surprised. Where pentax-cameras tend to have stable or even increasing prices, mirrorless in general reach a point where they start depreciating, except maybe some Leicas. E.g. the S1's price sits in between the K3iii and K1ii. Not all cameras with a great EVF cost as much as e.g. the SL2 or R5.
