If you are referring to a screen on the back of the camera, that is correct. They're all marginal in daylight. But if you mean a true electronic viewfinder that you hold up to your eye to see, most of the newer ones are good. Newer Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, and Fujifilm cameras all have excellent EVFs.
That is no longer true. The LCD on my Panasonic GM5 is surprisingly good in bright daylight. It has caused me to change my earlier opinion, which agreed with you. More and more often I compose with it's LCD.
The GM5 has a reasonable EVF also, but I find myself using it less and less. In part because the LCD is a touch screen so I want to look at it anyway.
There is a slight downside. One of the ways they improved it is with strong polarization. Thus if you wear polarized sunglasses when you turn the camera to portrait mode the LCD goes black.
DSLR makers haven't all caught onto using cell phone technology LCDs.
