Are all lenses designed for mirrorless practically the same then and no room for adapters?

Flange range of Sony E-mount is 18mm. Canon RF is 20mm. So, while an RF lens on a Sony E-mount camera could be possible, a Sony E-mount lens on a Canon RF mount camera is not.

The throat diameter of the E mount is 46.1mm.  The outside diameter of the RF lens bayonet flanges is 56¼mm and they extend slightly closer than 16½mm to the plane on the sensor.  The only chance of mounting an RF lens to E mount or Z mount and getting infinity focus is by way of a slightly short teleconverter.
