There are big advantages of SLRs over mirrorless: battery life and speed.
I dread the day if I ever have to go to mirrorless, I really don't want those drawbacks.
The last market segment that was holding out was the Pro and Prosumer segment since initially mirrorless lagged on feature parity, especially in AF. Mirrorless cameras have effectively reached parity now.
Now there is, in real use, no advantage to SLR type cameras, and, pure guess, mirrorless are probably cheaper to make since you can dispense with an entire mechanical assembly.
