As stated before in the thread, a mirrorless cameras sensor is always exposed when the camera is on, this is how you can see anything on any screen. DSLR's on the other hand covers the sensor with both the shutter and the mirror (the mirror allows the picture to be reflected up through the viewfinder).
Just to expand on this, DSLRs also behave this way in live view mode. I point my Canon 5D Mark III with 50/1.2L at the window in live view mode and the aperture blades will stop down.
Different manufacturers have their own tolerances and sensitivities to it (how bright before they stop down, and how quick/slow they react to the changing light), but practically all manufacturers have this behavior in some way or another.
