There are no little tongues, for want of a better word, on the Mark lll lens barrel for an attachment like there was for the G1X original.

The lens hood is a screw-in exactly like a filter and its apparently aluminium.

Yes and yes. If you're interested, I could find out what it's filter size is, as it's bigger where the filter adapter is located on the hood / adapter (didn't know it doubled as an adapter, but I breifly recall reading that now that Marco brings it up)

Perhaps Canon is concerned about the optic itself being damaged, not the filter / hood becoming permanently stuck? Thus mounting a filter on the hood, would obviate that risk, but not the risk of the hood itself becoming locked on the lens.

So I cannot see why there is any less chance of this getting stuck on the end of a lens than a normal filter. And if some people screw a filter into the adaptor without taking it off the lens, I'd think there is every chance they could apply too much torque in doing so, thus overtightening the lens hood and placing too much stress on that lens. And we all remember Error 99, don't we?
