Theoretically, OS/IS has an advantage at longer focal lengths, where a tiny movement at the end of the lens could mean a tiny adjustment with OS/IS but a major sensor shift with IBS. Maybe only an issue with lenses over 400mm.

Yes, and IF that is true in practice why not just keep making those lenses with built in stabilization, and let users turn on IBIS for all the unstabilized lenses they have?

Because then they couldn't sell us a $700 f/2.8 24mm or 28mm prime - which I would never buy anyway, but some apparently would.
