The Canon EOS R focuses with the aperture wide open; this is partially the reason why the EOS R does so well focusing in low light.

Most other mirrorless systems operate fully stopped down when focusing.

well - in low light every mirrorless camera will focus with aperture wide open - unless you force different aperture manually

Personally I found it strange choice but maybe its just me. I prefer sony's DOF preview implementation

What you said there is wrong. The sonys at least focus stopped down no matter what amount of like there is. You can only shoot wide open to get wide open focus..,

What they will do is focus initially wide open and immediately stop down with live view preview off. So in AF-C it will try to do continuous focus stopped down which will end up resulting in CDAF hunting if the light is low enough. Sony doesn’t allow you to turn this behavior off.
