Using the metering sensor for something it isn't designed for (and for which way better alternatives exist) is a workaround. Not a falsehood.
And care to explain why the 307,000 RGBIr pixels sensor is not designed for subject recognition?

Are you sure the new sensor is larger than it would have been just for metering?

It does require the main sensor plus a secondary, relatively high-resolution sensor for AI analytics.

This doesn't negate the fact that the extra real estate for the exposure meter isn't needed for the exposure function ;-)
It's weird. I'm discussing with knowledgeable people - you should know these things better than me - but it doesn't feels that way.
