I just can't buy anything that the seller describes as "beloved" and that is sold "reluctantly".
Frankly, it's a deal breaker...

My first SLR was a Miranda that had interchangeable focusing screens. After I tried a plain matte screen I was hooked.
That feature became necessary.
For me.
I also valued compactness and light weight. At the time, early to mid 70's that narrowed it down to one camera, the newly introduced OM-1 system.
Certainly no one camera checks all the boxes. So each reasonable person looks for their personal #1, #2 and #3 requirements, #4, #5 and #6 become nice but not mandatory.
Unreasonable people will 'require' that camera companies build them exactly the camera that checks all 6 boxes (or 20, or 30, or 40 boxes, well you get the picture) or buy gum, it's a "total fail" (another overused silly expression).
All this said, just because a person is looking for a camera with a specific but reasonable feature set on their short list does not mean they are being pig headed if they don't like your favorite camera because it lacks some feature you don't care about but they do.
And, if someone expresses them self in a manner that a person personally hates, well it's not the end of the world.
