This scene from his latest video is a good example of where the flippy screen comes in handy and I thought it was relevant here:

Many times, it is just impossible to do an extreme angle without a tilt screen because you don't have a luxury of time and more often the space on actual street. IMO, whoever behind the decision doesn't seem to care much about this gene until one day they care, which is very much like their views on FF DSLR back before the K1 days.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Well, they will do what they want to do. It has always been this way. Better get used to or use the older camera with such screen or else, and I am seriously considering my own advice too.
