I have an old Cannon Power Shot G2 with both an optical view finder and a movable screen. For many of the photos that I take I cannot put my head in back of the camera to use the optical view finder. For example I often take photos of kittens in action. For most good shots the camera needs to be placed down close to the floor at the kitten's eye level. If I spend the time to lay down so as to put my eye behind the camera the kittens will be gone or in some cases they will come over and try to play with the camera. I often take photos with a close up lense attachment and the optical view finder does not work with that.
