Re: Then we should have 1GP sensors by now.

2008.

That's the year Sony announced development of their first BSI CMOS sensor. In 2010 they announced a 16.41MP BSI CMOS phone sensor that started shipping January 2011. It was a 1/2.8" sensor with an area of around 20 mm2 (that's rounding up). A FF sensor is 864 mm2, which is 44.2 X the area. So my question is why hasn't anyone, even Sony, made a 725MP FF sensor? The technology existed in 2010 to do it, which means anything less than that should be considered falling behind Sony's abilities.

This paragraph uses both the "Straw Man" logical fallacy and a false analogy.

Not very compelling.

Also, unclear that it supports your contention that in 2021, Canon is technologically-limited to a 24 MP limit for a FF BSI sensor.

By the way, leaving technical sensor concerns aside, the reason we are unlikely to see, or want, a 725 MP FF camera is diffraction.

You would be limited to fast lenses and large apertures or give your resolution back to diffraction.
