Speaking of misinformation, Canon has an EF 11-24 fisheye lens, I believe also an 10 mm primerectilinear lens, and some EF 16-35 mm lenses. Also some EF 24-100 mm lenses.

Yeah, thst's misinformation.

The 11-24 is rectilinear.

DPR lists it as both rectilinear and fisheye.  I don't see where to report the error.

No 10mm rectilinear prime exists (shortest is 14mm).

There's a patent on a 10.  I think I remember seeing a review--maybe not.

Yes, there are 16-35mm lenses, but no 24-100s (being a bit pedantic here, they're 24-105s). There IS a fisheye zoom, the 8-15.

Correct.

I think the previous poster meant that no EF lens provides an ultrawide option on APS-C.

Probably so.  That makes sense.
