Where on earth did you get this nonsense?

Just because you don't know something doesn't make it false. The fact
is that if you take two sensors, one that has an electronic shutter
and one that does not, the one that does not will give you better
performance. It's because of the additional space taken up on the
substrate for the electronics needed for the electronic shutter. That
allows less room for light collecting pixels. If/when they put
sensors with electronic shutters that don't rob it of light
sensitivity you'll see them in more widespread use on high-end
cameras.
