The thing that changed for me with mirrorless, I no longer use focus and recompose

Right-O!

Especially with the bodies that sport the new-fangled Eye detect. Just acquire focus and move your subject anywhere in the frame! What freedom!!!

use focus and recompose

vs

acquire focus and move your subject anywhere in the frame

Hm, sounds pretty similar actually. Some things never change.

It can be. Or override eye AF with something like single point AF, move your camera so the AF point lands on your subject and go back to eye AF. When overriding eye AF you can place the AF point anywhere you want on the subject. Then move the camera to compose. I do that because it is faster than using the joystick or LCD for what I shoot.

P.S. I am learning how to effectively use the m6ii's AF, so I do know there is a difference from my 6D days... the language echo was notable to me nevertheless.

You paid for the tech so embrace it. Once you get past getting control over the new eye AF tech you won't go back. For a few years I had an R and 7D2. Despite the 7D2's slow FPS the it hardly came out of the bag. I was having too much fun with the R even if was not as sophisticated as the newer ML bodies.
