Always the Fuji fanboy, Dan. It's a Fuji problem, and one they've never addressed well over the years.
How many times must I tell you I still have a Fuji body? Although, with the Z50 in the house, it's about to hit the B&S.
Regarding the threads you link to, congratulations: you used the search function and found five thread since 2016 mentioning a Fujifilm lockup. That's less than one report per year.
Thread 1: the person's camera froze one time. The poster was unable to reproduce the problem again. (In the thread the person also reports similar a similar problem with a Canon body. Do any Nikon cameras ever freeze up?)
Thread 2: One post and no follow up by the OP.
Thread 3: From 2016, with early copy of the XT2. Sounds like a firmware update addressed the rare issue.
Thread 4: Poster figured out it was a bad card that locked up other devices, too. (Oddly, after the poster reported that the problem was resolved, some guy offered: "Lockups are Fuji's greatest weakness. Most of them can be mitigated by moving to 300mb/s UHS-II cards." Oh, that was you! ;-) )
Thread 5: Not much to go on here, and OP never reported final outcome. Sounds like a problem camera and a warranty issue?
Normally I wouldn't go this deeply into the "if you don't believe me, read all of these posts!" links, but I'm getting a feeling about this that I wanted to verify.
1. The "Fuji fanboy" comment funny, given the amount of flack I get on this board for my criticisms of Fujifilm. These include my skepticism about some of the marketing aspects of the XH2/XH2s models, my critique of the XPro3 marketing and design (and decision to continue using the XPro2), my points about the minuses of the GFX system that, for some users, counteract its real pluses. The "fanboy" tag is also one of the lamest cheap shots in camera discussions. Means nothing.
2. What's the opposite of a "fanboy?" Whatever it is, when it comes to Fujifilm, you might serve as a case study.
3. You have a Fuji body. I suppose that this — and reading lots of reviews? — carries more weight than the experiences of those who use and have used the system for significant photography for a long time.
In the end, it just seems a little... odd... that you spend so much time slamming Fujifilm. It's fine that you don't like the brand, but the obsession with telling mostly satisfied Fujifilm users how awful their gear is seems... well, odd. You seem to be on a bit of a crusade here.
