Totally agree.

Also some of us feel that turning up to a client for a paid assignment taking photos in what would appear to them as a glorified smartphone (i,e. stretched hands holding your cameras as you hold your smartphone to take a shot) may appear to some to be unprofessional. Jared Polin (look him up on YouTube - he has 1.4 million subscribers) has some stronger words to describe this "style" of photography and never misses a chance to bad-mouth EVF-less cameras... I know this is very personal and often contentious but thought I'd mention that point for you to consider especially as you are coming from DSLR

I’ll play the devil’s advocate. I believe that this holding a camera up to your face (for general photography) is an affectation that will pass once our generation passes.

Not likely.  Access to a viewfinder is one of the reasons people go beyond their smartphone and purchase a dedicated camera.

The “Smartphone Generation” will see either method as being completely normal! There are indeed distinct advantages to both styles that will cut through any pre-held prejudices.

Almost every photographer I know already sees it as completely normal to switch between viewfinder and rear LCD based on the situation.
