My observation, too.

As the title states: The Mirrorless Future Is Now. Meaning NOW, now like August 3, 2022, and yesterday August 2, 2022, and every single day that is tomorrow.

I think the term that they used that is germane here is "nascent technology". As in developing and not here yet! Maybe some day, not now! DSLRs are the here and now!

If you think mirrorless hasn't yet passed DSLRs in all performance aspects, you clearly have not been paying attention. If you don't want to pay attention, why bother commenting?

Anyone still buying vinyl recordings? Some people think the quality is better.

Anyone still riding horses? Great way to save money with these high gas prices ...

So, you purchased a high end mirrorless, never turned it on but still found it to be so unimpressive that you returned it. I think that you should write a full review of the camera, I am sure that it will be well received.

It was uglee and ungainly. Not a keeper.

You're a hoot. You take every post about the glorious technology that is mirrorless as a personal insult to you, and more directly, your camera, an inanimate object with no feelings at all. And, then you accuse others of having the same insecurities about their cameras, when most don't. Yes, that weakness of character is what is being made fun of, not your equipment.

Unfortunately, my favorite never made a DSLR - or even SLR! But I loved my 1950s 35mm Voigtlander Vitessa L with the 50mm Ultron f/2.0 lens!!! An exceptionally well made and performing camera; since then, their lenses have been the same very high quality, but a real shame they didn't go further with their camera line! I've had Argus, Vitessa, Minolta, Pentax, Sony, Panasonic and Canon cameras, and all were very good for what they were. My old Canon G16 and 70D DSLR will be my last - after all, I'm 94, and no money for new cameras, anyway! Plus, they perform very well and meet my needs, so why should I lust for the newest and best?

Alas, far too many fail to recognize that when both DSLRs and MILCs reached 24MP, along with all the sensors and other bundled technology of these products, digital cameras reached as good as they need to be. Moving into one of these models from something older, great idea. Swapping out one of these models with years of useful life in the body / shutter, completely unnecessary. Mirrorless adds the benefit of breathing new digital life into decades old manual focus lenses, forgotten equipment that probably should have been sold in the past, and now just for once, you are justified in saving it.

But, instead of looking on the bright side ...
instead of practicing their craft ...
instead of capturing and sharing their work ...

Instead of becoming one with your camera, the point where the magic truly begins, they waste their days reading UHH and envying other people's gear and other people's accomplishments. Lusting after your neighbor's camera is a deadly sin of photography, up there with forgetting to charge your batteries.

Creativity doesn't happen when you're reading camera reviews. It happens when you're using your camera, the one you have.
