I think Sony needs to rethink their pricing. Canon R8 ii is priced at $1900 that is a whooping $600 cheaper than A7c ii. Nikon Z5 iic is priced at $1400 that is a whooooooping $1100 cheaper than A6c ii. I know it lacks an evf which apparently needs to be bought separately. However, Nikon is selling Z5 ii with an evf at only $1700!!! Sony is going to lose a lot of sales to Canon and Nikon.
The A7C series keeps being the smallest full-frame cameras with an EVF, IBIS, an articulating screen, etc. All that in such a compact body comes at a price.
Not sure what your argument should lead us to. The competing cameras have almost all the features you mentioned (except for the weight advantage) and at a much lower price. They also have some noteworthy advantage when it comes features (higher frame rate, better rear screen, less rolling shutter, raw video recording).
In any case, this matter will be settled by the mainstream consumer not by you and I. They will ultimately decide if the little saving on the weight is worth hundreds of dollars in extra cost. We are just speculating here. It happens that my speculation differs from yours.
