Unless you're Amazon, is it really worth developing a your own processor for internal use?

Depends on how you use it I guess, most of the benefits appear to be in automation. If you still shoot full manual exposure manual focus (a niche of a niche, I know) the benefits are lessened.

Manual focus with focus peaking using a mirrorless camera is a huge advantage for mirrorless in a lot of situations. And makes old manual focus lens a lot of fun.

I ultimately gave up on DSLRs and went mirrorless because software. With the advances in processing power, giving advanced software real-time access to the entire sensor opens up a lot of possibilities now (real-time level curve, etc.) and in the future. Battery life is still better on DSLRs, but the size of my Fujifilm system and lenses is just amazing. It's hard to see how anybody could really miss film with a 40MP APS-C like the XT-5.
