I think Sony might be starting to have a shutter close over the sensor on some of their new cameras when turned off also.
My A9II has this feature.

I have always wondered if there more pronounced problem with mirrorless bodies picking up more dust on the sensor than DSLR's. Has anyone noticed this issue?
Yes, this is a fairly commonly reported problem. The sensor also sits much farther forward in the camera, less than 1" recessed from the bayonet lens mounting flange, so is more vulnerable to other things, too. I've seen several relatively new mirrorless being offered with "scratched sensor".
I don't know about other manufacturers, but Canon has addressed these concerns in their latest two mirrorless models: R5 and R6. Whenever the lens is removed, both those cameras automatically close their shutter, protecting the sensor. This feature can be turned off by the user, if they prefer.
