Maybe they're waging a war against bulk...as it would seem, are many other manufacturers.

That's true. 3rd party lenses is a growing market and with sigma it has been particularly unstoppable. I mean, I've seen a lot of people changing their 35mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.2 for the respective versions of the sigma. Now they came with a 150-600. Tamron is coming with a monster 15-30 2.8... sooooo yeah, Canon gotta bring interesting glasses. I know they are impossible to compare in the technical support and repairs, but that alone won't suffice for much longer.
