I should mention that the samples I am posting are at ISO 6400. For sake of comparison, here are some similar dark portions at ISO 6400 from the X-H2s and X-T4. Of the 4 cameras, the X-T4 exhibits the least amount of this type of noise. And I think gdanmitchell is correct in defining it as such- regardless of where in the pipeline it is introduced. I do not believe it is a defect, as such.
Lifting exposure, sharpening, increasing clarity or texture all exacerbate the definition of the white specs. I am evaluating if this is a show-stopper for my own needs, but I think many and most won't even notice.
