I know that, but this "frame guides on both the LCD and external monitor" IS "in current camera firmware" because I was asking this long time ago!
-----------------
You don't need to go into menus to change the aperture. You use the buttons.
---------------
Oh, yes! I just push "IRIS" button... and... my aperture JUMP to the MINIMUM.. and I have to push to one button several times and to another button several times, in case to go to a level I need...
---------------
Most people set the shutter speed based on the look and feel they want to achieve or to avoid flicker. Once it's set you generally don't change it for the scene you are shooting so having it in the menus is not really an issue for most people.

This is only if you OK to change ISO and Aperture in case to get proper Exposure...
But, when we NEED to keep the same Dept of Field, we will NEED to have an option to change shutter speed/"obturateur angle" FAST and without interruption of filming!!!

While I agree with some of your points you also need to consider the price point of the camera.
Adding buttons and jog wheels would add to the cost.
-------------
I don't think that to add just ONE simple jog wheel into "Side Hand Grip" will add too much to camera cost!!!
Look how that can be SIMPLE!!! -->
This simple ONE jog wheel will be able to operate with:
1.Aperture of Canon EF lenses if you push ONCE "IRIS" button" and turn this wheel in any direction.
2. Change ISO, when you push once "ISO" button
3. Change White Balance, when you push once "WB" button
4. Change change shutter speed/"obturateur angle" when you push once "ShS" button
so, ??... as we ready have "IRIS" button" and "Focus button, we have to be able to setup FUNCTIONS of ISO and WB to available "F1" and F2" buttons! ..
---------------------
Or, we can use CURRENT jog wheels of SOUND control, temporary give them any function by pushing current buttons for a few seconds: -->
( ...but I 100% would prefer one jog wheel on "Side Hand Grip" !!! )
so Blackmagic do NOT even need to add buttons and jog wheels !!!Just find a way I'm talking about in current FIRMWARE of the URSA Mini and improve it!
Making the screen detachable would add to the cost.
No camera is perfect... Even the Arri Alexa has some odd design quirks and that camera cost substantially more...
Oh, Yes! .. but this is what I'm trying to do: to HELP Blackmagic Design "TO MAKE URSA MINI 4.6K PERFECT" as much as possible, without adding too much cost!!!

WHY NOT?
