Why bother with an APS-C camera with an RF mount? The camera market is shrinking and the demand for big clunky cameras is not what it was five years ago. More smartphone cameras and less interest in the big brick. So instead of Canon spreading itself thin with a multitude of cameras made with permutations of the same old tech, they should seriously reel in the many models and offer fewer but more all-encompassing models that meet the requirements of the diminishing few still faithful to the benefits of big clunky cameras. No reason a high-pixel FF camera with optional sensor size capture settings can't address the major advantages of APS-C,  Its not like the cost savings of limiting physics of a larger sensor to APS-C are as significant as with DSLR's.  The more important issue is for Canon to deliver a sensor as good or ideally much better than its competitors.  Back in the film days, film product selection played a significant role of preferences by the serious photographer. Today that continues with which camera can deliver the most desired sensor characteristics. Canon makes some amazing RF lenses. Now if only they would deliver a series of camera bodies that fully exploit their capabilities instead of a different camera maker's sensor tech.
