I much prefer OVFs (DSLRs over mirrorless/live view anything) myself. I am sure I would also prefer a Pentax DSLR over a Sony/Canon/Fuji mirrorless camera, in general.
The 7D mk II has had its fair share of criticism where AF accuracy with certain lenses in concerned, and certainly can't be called a camera "that has one of the best AF systems". Apparently, you yourself have found that it will need calibration with the EF 85mm f1.8 USM because of its optical flaws in combination with which wavelengths the 7D mk II's AF module "sees".
Just like others may hope that Pentax will continue to (also?) produce DSLRs, I hope that Canon also continues to develop DSLRs, next to their video and mirror-less photo stuff.
Yeah, it's the ML awakening ........ suddenly we're getting the eye focused ..... automatically ..... to be fair, that's quite a conquest .... as long as the eyelashes don't put the eye out of focus again ....
My big concession to ML is ....... AF coverage ..... I don't see the DSLR ever matching ML EVF for that!
But only the A9/A9II can successfully do sports/wildlife at similar levels as the Canikon pro sports cameras ..... but the EVF lag although minimal, can still be an issue with long lenses (above 600mm) ......
So, finally both systems have got there .... after all these years .... or at least nearly there!!
PS. Over the years I've heard many togs say that using AF fine tune causes more issues than it solves and as a consequence never tune their lenses ...... were these people getting the best from their lenses ?? .........80% of mine needed tuning!
