Because they can......  And it makes it lighter, cheaper and,
smaller......all good things...

On an SLR, the value of FF at 100% VF Magnification is somewhat
dubious....Rarely does one use an SLR with both eyes open.  On a RF camera,
it is significantly more important as the magnification of the VF does not
change with changing lens FL.

Both Nikon and Canon used to say the reason for the smaller VF on $2000 or
less dSLR's was because of the 1.5/6x crop factor.

So why to wimpy VF on FF??
