Well said I agree, who cares what you shoot with just so it takes photos, to many people worry about equip. Different camera companies, mirrorless, non mirrorless etc. Can't anybody just enjoy the hobby.

My philosophy.
I have a camera.
As a matter of fact, two.
If you count my phone, three.
They take pictures.

It’s necessary for everyone else to do things my way in order for me to feel validated. And I can’t enjoy the hobby if I don’t feel validated.

(Note: the above is satire - it is a joke)

I have a compact thin camera that has a phone function that I occasionally use.

Qualify that as only mirrorless.

That would be assumed. Two of those competitors havent made slrs for many years. For markets share slrs would not matter even if all three had recently made them. When existing supplies run out its fully over for them.

Leica is the leader in the USSR, DPRK, Monaco, and the Cayman Islands.

The Japanese love the form of the Oly cameras. There is a design elegance to them, particularly with the smaller bodied ones. When I see someone with one in hand internationally it is almost always a Japanese person who has one. We kinda wave at each other sometimes, like we're in a secret club. Headed there in April to be among like minded people (and to see the sites).

I could not care less than I do, which is not at all. I'll shoot Sony when someone buys me a nice Sony outfit. Until then my Canon and Nikon gear will work just fine.

Boy, look at that graph, both overall and the recent 2022 months especially. If I was the site's major Sony proponent, I sure would be worried about the downward direction of Sony in this Japan market, especially with Canon's two new APS-C releases not yet reflected in the data. I might even hesitate to provide this article publicly, lest my cred be questioned.

If I had a mirrorless camera system that doesn't appear on the graph, I'd be even more concerned ...
