The hard facts are that the RP needs lenses as well and it is likely would want the sub $600 lenses for those customers. So would we see three tiers of RF lenses? Maybe down the road in the future but I think they will have their hand full just with two tiers.

It took Sony a while but they now have three tiers for some with the GM, G, and regular. The example I see that they have is the FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA (ok no G or GM) that I think of as a GM, the 55 f/1.8 ZA (as a G), and the 50/1.8 or you can get that same when you add in the third party lens partners like Zeiss Batis, Tamron, and Sigma.
