How is RF-s even necessary at all? The reason for EF-s was the mirror. That is gone so if there is a lens with reduced image circle the chip in the lens can simply indicate that to the camera to force crop mode when the lens is mounted on a FF camera. I really don’t see any benefit from all these different lens mounts other than to get customers to buy more stuff

It isn't. That is a misunderstanding. 
It would all be RF mount. But you would still have to specify on the lens if it is for a crop sensor or FF. and the same goes on the camera. That is why I have been placing RF-S in parenthesis.
