Why should I not buy the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro (non L) for EOS R?

There are 2 versions of 100m Macro Non-IS

I have the USM version, and it actually focuses very fast and quiet.  It is only slow when it misses focus and has to hunt from 1x macro to ∞.

I would not pick the macro lens if the primary usage is portrait.  The regular 100mm f/2 lens is twice as fast and almost as good for non-macro work.
