It should be an easy fix for Canon. Release a new EVF with a hot shoe on it for the flash.
Just hope there is no technical issue that prevent that.

An add-on EVF that fits into the hot-shoe on the camera. An EVF that has an additional add-on hot-shoe on top of it for a flash?

Over the years I've heard some pretty far-out ideas! But this one takes the cake as being the stupidest I've ever heard.

Congratulations! Then you should call Fuji and tell them you think they are stupid. Their GFX cameras are using the stupidest idea you’ve ever heard of.

The Fuji EVF is not using the hotshoe as the mechanical connection. There is a secondary bracket surrounding the hotshoe that holds everything together. While it may function similar to what Nigge suggested, it is built completely differently.

If Canon made the perfect camera there would still be the unsatisfied bunch of naysayers who come up with cockamamie ideas.

But fuji wasn't the only one doing things like this. For a long time we had this...
