Youtuber TheFilmGuy says he chatted with a Sony rep who told him that False Color and Open Gate aren’t used much, so Sony doesn’t see much value in adding them. In addition, they asked Sony to add internal RAW recording to its budget cameras and to update the FX9/FX6 line, as it is unable to compete with the new C400 and C80 models.

I’m not sure if this Sony representative really knows the details of Sony’s strategy, as I know from experience that Sony Japan maintains the utmost secrecy when it comes to discussing future strategy. But I am sure that Sony will eventually learn from the progress made by its competitors and catch up by adding those missing features to future models, such as the FX3II.

One more thing: ProAV explains why Open Gate is so important:
