Would you want an APS-C camera with an RF mount?

Which is a bit silly. I’d wager most APS-C buyers never bought EF lenses. Most buy the kit lens and stop. The next level is buying one or two more EF-S lenses. A few bought EF lenses. So, effectively Canon have had parallel systems for quite a while.

it is.  with the pixel density of 26 and 30mp for the RP and R, I can't see the worth of using EF-M or EF-S glass outside of video on either camera.

and using crop camera glass for video is a solution to a short term problem.

An RP or R user isn't limited to needing EF-S or EF-M glass; they have a largest stable of used lenses and new lenses to choose from on the planet.  Just about every single EF lens will work on both cameras without a problem.

You have lenses like the 24,28,35,40,50, 85, 100 all fairly inexpensive.  even the EF 24-105 or the EF 24-70/4 are cheap.  Or the 17-40 isn't that bad on 26MP either.

Then you have the original 70-200/4's if you are shooting fast action or subjects with shutter speeds over 1/200th you don't need IS.

the 100-400L, 70-300L are both great lenses and not that expensive.

or you have old but good 200 2.8L 300/4L and 400 5.6L's as well.

again depending on what you are shooting you may not need IS that badly.

Yes, you'll have to replace lenses if you migrate, but you are going to do that anyways otherwise there's absolutely no point in getting a full frame camera.
