EOS R 'less professional' than EOS 5Mk4 ?

I read some comments that the EOS R is 'not so professional' as the 5Mk4.

I don't have both, I just own a humble EOS 6 (first edition), which I like.

But when I see the differences, the only things that are better on the 5Mk4 are dual card slots (one SD and one CF) and uncropped 4K filming. 
But on the negative side it is bulkier, heavier, cannot mount EF-S and RF lenses, has less AF points and is far more expensive.

I know, there is an upcoming EOS R Pro (or whatever it might be called) which replaces the 5Mk4 and/or even the 1DXMk2.

Is the 5Mk4 really more 'pro' than the EOS R ?
