Sony set to change the DSLR world?

This is particularly the case on mirrorless cameras, where, with few notable exceptions like Fuji Xx the optical viewfinders border on being small, dark and useless (or a backup for the LCDs on bright days)

It used to be that the LCD was the backup, now for many people it's becoming the other way around. I am currently doing without an eye-level viewfinder. It has its challenges in bright light.

I expect other manufacturers will follow suit with Sony and we will see lots of high quality EVFs, OLED-based, replacing OVFs and being added to cameras that would have been LCD-only. I have nothing against Sony, but to me this seems like an obvious advance, and I don't give them much credit for marketing it first. I do think they deserve a lot of credit for implementing it so well, and introducing it well ahead of everyone else.
