EOS R more pro than the 1Dx

The R, while still smaller and less comfortable to grip than my DSLRs was infinitely more comfortable than the Sony cameras. So the R really was a great camera at the right time. I do hope Canon will make a higher MP, dual card, IBIS version that is a bit more on the pro side, but the R is so good I bought a second as I shift over to mostly all RF lenses.

The R has more MP than the 1Dx.

1Dx owners are also saying they hope Canon will make a higher MP, and IBIS, version of the 1Dx that is a bit more on the pro side.  Right?

Why is the 1Dx used by photographers for work, somewhat considered "pro", but the R with more MP and the very same IBIS as the 1Dx, not pro enough due specifically to those specs?

IBIS is pro?  It sounds like a unique use feature.  It needs no IS lens, low light, handheld, and a static subject to all be happening at once for IBIS to be handy.  A feature that makes the camera a lot less durable.  IBIS in a pro camera?

It would make more sense to say the R needs more frames per second, two card slots (three?), better weatherproofing, and faster/more-accurate AF to be considered pro.
