Canon EOS Series

So, they developed the R and three and a half cracking RF lenses in just the time since the A9 was released? Pretty impressive engineering.
More likely is them, and Nikon, shifting to a higher gear on the production of mirrorless than it is them being caught completely off guard.
After all, whist not sport cameras, it isn't that the rest of the A series are not impressive kit.

Until a few weeks ago the A9 was the third best AF camera on the market and you have no clue what Canon has been working on as far as AF tech goes. I will not even get into other areas were Canon and Nikon still out performs the A9 and there are other areas were the A9 is still superior not when it comes to DR but we will leave that one alone for now. Now you might be right and the new 1D will be a complete failure like the 6DMKII you know the camera that outsells the A7III.

That is very possible, but that is also a matter of opinion... It’s stands to reason that DSLR sales have taken a hit because of ML and cell phones... that’s what your graphs show. However, more time will tell if things will level out out or not. The jet plane didn’t eliminate the development of props.
As Justme noted earlier, any new tech can be implemented into dslr’s as well, if possible to do so. So, the R&D is already there. Additionally, like ML, dslr’s are digital, not analog, so your analogy re: slr’s is off. If a market exists, Canon would be foolish to abandon it, especially with the plethora of EF mount bodies and lenses already out there.
Also, there is a matter of preference and genre. Some people like yourself love mirrorless and others don’t really care for it. Personally, I just tolerate it, but will buy and use it. About the only ML I’d consider for wildlife is the A9, but would still have my reservations. Ill be buying one anyway. Even so, I would not abandon my DSLR gear and will continue to buy more.
This ML DSLR argument is old hat. Perhaps, but perhaps not. Everyone has an opinion. Only time will tell. Then too, EVF may go by the wayside once new improved viewfinder tech is developed...
And people are still shooting film with more film being developed... and glass plates too.
