Ilfochrome is a dye destruction process, whereby all three
colour layers are at 100% saturation prior to exposure, and as
the material is processed, the colour dyes that are not image
forming are removed from the emulsion. This is the reason for
why Ilfochromes have such startling saturation and vibrant
colour.
Fujichrome material is a conventional reversal process with the
dyes coupled to the image layer by development action.

Nope. Fujichrome prints are made with a process that is
remarkably similar to E-6/CR56 film processing. Personally, I
prefer the look of these papers over Ilfochrome. I guess that
makes me a heretic.
