Are you fed up with the ever increasing cost of Canon gear?

Some of the newer RF lenses offer good value to me. My R6 is worth what I paid for it every time I snap a pic of the fast moving grandkids.

The RF lenses are invariably far too expensive, the "cheap" ones are much more expensive than the EF equivalent and the performance is often not as good as the EF version. Canon keep fitting the slow STM motors for video people thereby compromising the lens for people who want to use their camera for actual photography e.g. the EF 35mm f/2 seemingly beats the RF 35 /1.8 at everything except the mount.

Pray tell Sir, what strange tongues doth thou speak in, it's foreign dialect doth confuse my noggin.

Am I to understand Sir, by your proclamation, that a minuscule difference in AF rapidity renders it incapable of performing focus motions for photographic reproduction?

By your logic Sir, would you therefore concur that the small difference in LW/PH and MTF in favour of the RF specimen must and doth thereby render the EF specimen as useful as dung for said same purpose?

Did rationality take leave while I was in slumber?

Also I wonder, Sir, if perhaps you may have been deceived by the Canon's cunning in furnishing the RF specimen with dual focusing personalities, a speedier one for photographic pursuits and a quiet smooth one for the moving picture variety, and the sorcerer's deceit to transmogrify between them at will.
