I meant specifically when using a viewfinder on a mirrorless camera, it means looking at a tiny LCD/OLED screen inside an eyepiece that simulates the classic view vs through glass lenses/prisms for an actual optical view. I like optical viewfinders not little screens in tubes.
I disagree its nostalgia. I prefer composing that way and don't use it "because it's there", rather because I like to. It's more comfortable for me. It's also not bothered by sunlight washing out the display. It's not some impractical relic used for old times sake.

Sure but just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it. It's there for nostalgia reasons, mostly.
