So i'm wondering why not just buy a used xe2 or 3 and a 23f2 or 1.4 for the same or less than what these fixed lens cameras are going for?

There a lots of reason why the X100V is better. For me, it's the onboard flash. In sunny conditions or sunsets/ sunrises you need to lift the face or perhaps just the eyes with a little fill flash for portraits. Barely noticeable, just enough so you can see the face but not notice the extra illumination. Carrying a flash around is a pain.

And of course the built in ND filter for shooting f2 in bright conditions. It really is a whole camera bag in a tiny package.

For me the X100would be perfect if the lens were 1.4 for shallower DOF. I wouldn't mind it being a bit bigger.
