I wish Canon or someone would come up with a camera completely devoid of video functions. I don't need that for PHOTOGRAPHS. Also I have to laugh at reviews that say camera x is better than camera y because it does 20 fps vs 10 fps. I doubt even people shooting sports need that, and if they do, I pity them having to sort thru all those photos trying to find the good one to publish. From a speed and throughput perspective cameras have long eclipsed any speed limit I could use. I just want to take photos in as simple and straightforward manner as possible. 90% (at least) of the stuff on modern cameras just gets in the way for me. I'm probably in the minority though.

I would question how much cost would be saved by removing the video features.

There is some licensing to be paid for h264 and h256 encoding (2$ 3$ or less, and maybe the cost is already "embedded" in the chipset you are going to use in your camera anyway), the ability to have videos is required if you want live view from your mirrorless camera, so not much to save from the coding part of their  programmers, other than that it will be a dumb and stupid move (from Canon or anyone else)  not  to include video in a "photo camera" today, the ones that will do are going to charge you much more just for that niche feature of not having video and for sure are going to sell million of  cameras less than Canon, just like the Leica m10 mono
