I would expect the 6DII to come with a dual-pixel sensor design like the 70D. This lens could be in support of that (it has STM).

The argument against this would be that the lens was been announced before a 6DII. Why wouldn't they release them together?

I agree.

The STM will facilitate video focus and be a lower price point - and I expect the 6DII and 5DIV to have dual-pixel sensors.  I also expect the 6DII to be a lower price point than the current 6D.

As to why it came out now, before the cameras - possibly just because it could.  This might be the standard kit lens on the 5DIV as well, so Canon needs have to have the kit lens production up to full speed prior to launching any 6D or 5DIV replacement.
