I like to stick with Canon. Really wish there were a few more native lenses like a 16 1.4.
The Sigma lenses are native,
They are not "native". Just like all other Canon mount Sigma lenses, the mount and communication protocol have been reverse engineered.
Maybe not. There seams to be some cooperation between Canon and Sigma. Look at the compatibility of Sigma lenses with the new R5 and R6. Zero problems.
Just because things have not been broken does not mean the two are cooperating.
Just because they didn't cooperate in the past does not mean they still aren't cooperating yet. The statement "they cooperate" is an assumption, just like the statement "they don't cooperate", as it's simply unknown. There are signs pointing into the direction of cooperation lately between Sigma and Canon. As far as I know Sigma is the only third party lens manufacturer getting in camera lens corrections on Canon bodies. The 28&40&105mm f/1.4 lenses focus accurate even on Canon DSLRs, while there are problems on Nikon bodies with Nikon versions. With some (not all) Tamron lenses there are problems with the R6 and R5 bodies, while there are none with Sigma lenses - beside you can't use a manual focus override function.
Firmware tends to get broken with a new DIGIC, not a new body, and DIGIC X was already out with the 1DX III. Sigma already released firmware to fix issues with the 1DX III and 90D. Sigma also just released some new firmware for the three EF-M mount lenses for "focus ring adjustment functionality". The m4/3 and E mount versions did not need the update.
Well, even RF bodies need updates for new Canon brand RF lenses, so the need of updates isn't a proof for a lack of cooperation. The focus ring functionality doesn't seam very important to me (where there any complaints?), the 1DX III is a very new body.
I agree with you an update for the 90D is fairly late. But anyone loving accurate AF and lens compatibility probably shouldn't buy a 90D anyway.....
