You jumped your own conclusion too quickly on traditional prime vs zoom stereotype. This new version is nothing similar to the old mark I version. It's very new but you will see more and more photos from pro. Seriously it's not competing to those non-L primes (and I don't think those non L primes you mentioned are better in IQ on reviews), it's competing to L prime at f/2.8 and beyond but much more versatile in various fields from portraiture, landscape to sports.  I’d suggest wait and see…and I will do some tests as I said in this weekend.

I agree most cannot justify on this zoom but they are many others can if you use it seriously.
