Most people think this is good or bad depending on what they want. Canon would need to do a survey of APS-C users to determine how many want the bigger lenses and smaller sensor. My guess is that it would be a few that want the extra "reach", but the majority of APS-C users want smaller cameras, don't care or don't know the difference.

Smaller sensors do not give anything like "reach". The crop factor has no power at all in getting more subject detail. It is pixel density that gets more subject detail from a certain distance. An 80MP FF R-series camera would have more of this so-called "reach" than any current APS-C, and being mirrorless, crop mode would be transparent to the user, with higher magnification in the EVF.

Though it is commonly misused by people here, the typical use of " " is to question the use of the word.

Canon needs to increase pixel count in FF mirror-less before it obsoletes APS_C mirrorless.

But it doesn't. A crop on a current FF  sensor is good enough for most APS-C users.
