Anyway the main point of the post and my reply is more about Canon policy's itself. Back in the days there was low, medium, high priced lenses, now the medium category seems to not be considered anymore, it's either budget or premium.

You need to see things in the perspective of a much-reduced marketplace. You also need to consider that the optical quality of budget lenses is much higher than during the film era. Build quality is much better than later film budget lenses, too.

True, and that might be the problem. The gap is smaller than from the old nifty-fifty to the 50mm f1.2L, but I'm afraid it's not big enough to fill with another f1.4 lens this time. Switching from my EF 100mm f2 to the RF 85mm f1.8 doesn't feel like an upgrade to me,

So why switch?

Surely Just add the adapter and keep the lens you love. You can even choose the control ring version of the adapter and use your favourite lenses with a control ring.

There's are many doing this quite happily.
