I don’t think distortion disappears when holding a camera level. The lens always distorts, no matter how you hold it.

i am currently looking for a new camera and have to say I can easily spot the Fujis from a gallery. Not because of the “fantastic colors”, but because of the enormous distortions.

Nope.

Care to show an example?

If you're looking at OOC jpegs, any inherent distortion will have been corrected in-camera. Most RAW editors will automatically correct distortion as well. I see no distortion with any of my Fuji lenses other than natural perspective distortion.

The 16mm f/1.4 in particular is very well corrected optically, and shows very little distortion even without any electronic correction...
