The EOS R5 will change how you think about mirrorless cameras, how you think about photography, how you think about life. See Bryan Carnathan review quote, above.

LOL! Biggest change (aside from the hit to my bank account) is the increased number of “keeper” images I now get. Hasn’t changed how I think about life yet. I’m waiting for that though (and so is my wife). In the meantime, I’m still grumpy!

Most do not. Are we trading sensor dust for potential shutter damage? I'll have to check the Sony A1 manual to see what they have to say.
I probably change lenses less than most shooters, especially in the field. So far on my Sony cameras (no cover) any dust that I have noticed was easily removed with a few blasts with the Rocket Blaster.

Some do, some don't. The Canon RP has the sensor exposed and it can only shoot electronic front curtain/mechanical back curtain shutter or fully electronic silent shutter. No fully mechanical shutter. Others like the Canon R, R6, R5 have a front cover and can also shoot fully mechanical shutter.

Your user's manual should offer some precautions to take when changing lenses.

They have special doctors to handle that condition.

FYI - My Sony A7c does not have anything covering the sensor when the lens is off. I see that the A1 does keep the shutter closed when the lens is removed. Maybe Sony will do a firmware update which closes the shutter when it is switched off. In the meantime, I am getting used to cleaning the sensor often...

Same design (as described in the Carnathan quote) is also true of the original R. I'm not sure, but I suspect it is true of all models in the R series. A Sony-shooting friend (and I) were both surprised by this discovery--very pleasantly so in my case. He was envious, as sensor being exposed when changing lenses was a concern he had, to the extent of even contacting Sony about it.

It's hard to answer for all. My Sony a7II has a mechanical shutter that stays open, even when the camera is turned off. Remove the lens and there is the sensor, open to the world, not even a morning gown for modesty. If that was the mark II release, the same probably applied for the original a7 model.
"All MILCs have a mechanical shutter" seems like a bit of an overstatement, but I don't have others to say which don't (if applicable).
