Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

As a landscape shooter I like the convenience of the GPS integration of the 5D IV very much. It is definitely a negative for the R5 that it does not offer GPS.

I‘m using the Fuji X-T3 for hiking trips with the smartphone app to supply GPS data to the camera. That is, I do know both approaches to GPS tagging. It is definitely a huge step down from the integrated solution that the 5D IV offers. That said, manual tagging is completely out of the question for me.

I do not follow the energy argument as GPS has never caused any unsustainable battery consumption for my photography. It can also be turned off.
