Makes it clear as to why the 10-22 will remain in the "line-up"!

Why? In what way does it make it clear?

Genuine enquiry, since I don't have a 10-22 to test...

It is anything but clear. The 10-22 is bigger, heavier, more expensive, has worse IQ, and is less suitable for video due to lack of IS and STM.

There will always be some who will defend the older lens for no other reason than they already own the old lens.

I remember when the 70-200 II was first introduced, Mark I owners were saying: "the current lens is so good there's no way Canon could've made it better. I'm keeping my Mark I forever."

Well, Canon proved them wrong and many finally did move on to the new lens.
