Anti Viewfinders

After not using my film Leica MP for a very long time, and also — somehow Seneca disabling my back LCD on my LUMIX G9– the epiphany:

I really hate viewfinders.

If we think first principles, there is truly no reason to have a viewfinder anymore in a camera, whether film or digital, whether analogue or digital, whether it be an electric viewfinder or optical viewfinder.
