Perfectly okay that light rays get bent.

How? I fail to understand how light rays get bent more (or at all) in a DSLR camera.
I've yet to have anyone attempt to explain it.
Or did they simply read it on the internet.

Mirrorless is a way of life, seeing the world through new lenses and knowing that light reaches a sensor having never been reflected.
If light isn't reflected don't we call that a black hole?

I don't.
A black hole has a mass at the center where the gravity is so high that even light cannot escape the pull of gravity.

No. A Black Hole is what you call a UHH thread that has been hijacked by the Usual Suspects.

In my landscape photography, I use DSLRs with optical viewfinders. OFV's are as pure to WYSIWYG as you are going to get.
One of the pro's often cited about mirrorless are the use of Electronic View Finders and how they give the photographer a Heads-Up Display view of the exposure and all the data associated with it including a Histogram.
My question is about the image shown on the EVF. Is that a JPEG and is it altered by the in-camera settings? If you are shooting on a VIVID setting; are you seeing an enhanced vivid image in the EVF?
In full disclosure, I have never used a camera with an EVF except when using Live View on my DSLR.

Actually EVFs are much more wysiwyg than OVFs. OVFs more accurately reflect what you see, but EVFs are exactly what you get, or at least what your basic image will be, before post processing. I much prefer a good EVF, as I can immediately see overexposed areas, for instance. Focus magnification has highly increased my focus accuracy with manual lenses. EVFs are also good in dark situations and accurately show noise. I would never go back to an OVF, not in a million years...
In answer to your specific question, I do believe that picture settings are reflected in the EVF view. That is certainly true for Sony's picture profiles at least.

Well, what you get with a EVF is a compressed processed image file in JPEG form. The OVF gives me the NEF version. Also my refresh rate is infinitely higher than what the EVF is capable of.

Live view on new Canon DSLRs uses the amazing DPAF so no loss in AF capabilities as other DSLRs do.
Same system as mirrorless cameras and it also uses it in video mode.
So not all DSLRs lose capabilities in live view except for the inability of using the viewfinder, which for me sucks.
I don't own one & am not sure about other brands but, I believe Nikon Mirrorless have a viewfinder mode button on the side of the EVF that you can set so when you're in live view & you put your eye up to the viewfinder, the EVF goes on & turns off when you pull away again. There are three settings. The one I mentioned above, off & I forget what the third one is. Probably on all the time.
You never get what you see. What you get comes via a viewing system - screen or print - which will be different for countless reasons. Having said that - if you only shoot and view on a camera phone - then you do get what you see.
EVF's can be ugly compared to the optical DSLR viewfinder, but once you get to 3.69mill dots (Canon R6 for example) or more (R5), they look very close to "real life" in my opinion. Then the advantages outweigh the negatives. Being able to see the exposure change as you adjust exposure compensation is awesome. Don't fear EVF's just fear poor EVFs.

You are looking at the past - when SLRs were actually capturing only 90% of the OVF view! (Ignored by most OVF fans)
