Main benefit for the Olympus is it doesn't require any kind of adapter.
Stick it on top, turn it on, EASILY align it for the lens I'm using. And
EASILY change the alignment if I change lenses ...
IF I pay attention, I can write down the settings and already know the
alignment for each of the lenses I might want to use it with; mount the
lens & set the dials accordingly to get the same setup every time.
Not sure it would work that well (i.e. easily) with sights that require
adapters.

The one Olympus item I am considering is their EE-1 Dot Sight that mounts on
the hot shoe.

This can be a handy solution both for birding and for astro work.
At one point I had things set up with a cheap red dot sight:
