That's because it uses a beam splitter rather than a moving mirror to implement the reflex viewfinder and it uses a small Sony sensor that supports real time capture mode.

I believe that the issue is heat dissipation, and it becomes a lot worse as the size of the sensor increases.

Yes. That's why most larger sensors don't support a real time capture mode. The largest still camera sensor that does is the 10Mpixel Sony sensor in the DSC-R1.
