The 50mm primes are garbage

Actually I’ve seen some excellent (later) copies of the EF 50mm f/1.4 (lacking those copious amounts of halation).  They are rare however.  Never was lucky enough to get one.

The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a very well-behaved lens and a lot of fun to shoot.  It’s not the sharpest of lenses though, and lacks a bit of character.

The EF 50mm Compact Macro is Very sharp, but it’s not the quickest lens.

Never owned the EF 50mm f/1.2L, but if there was one RF L Prime for me, it would be the new RF 50mm f/1.2L.    Wow what a lens.

and there's no 105mm.

Technically true, but don’t forget the venerable EF 100mm f/2 (twin to the 85/1.8).  Shares the same faults though!

All the 85mm options suffer from fringing more than they should. I'm not saying it's a bad line up,

LOL except for that “garbage” part.  

I know, I know.  It’s all relative.

but without Sigma there are definitely holes in whole (EF+RF) Canon full frame lens line up.

Sigma certainly has augmented the whole Canon experience.  No doubt.
