The difference should be obvious. Lack of ongoing development looks a lot different from public announcements on pandemic related production shortages.

Sony discontinued the A7 II from 2014, A5100 from 2014, A7R II from 2015, and A6100 from 2019. Only the A6100 is a recent model. The A6400 and A6600 are from 2019 and ZV-E10 has not even been on the market for 6 months. All three of those models are on a pause due to parts shortages. This is all from Sony's official statements.

Are you sure that Canon has not slowed/stopped production on M models due to parts shortages? In the US, most of the M50 II and M200 kits are out of stock and on backorder. The RP kits are out of stock too.

Based on Canon's official statements, they are focusing on their high-margin models during the pandemic and parts shortages -- the same thing Sony is doing -- but they haven't abandoned or stopped production of the M. If they had done that, you'd be the first here to proclaim that the M is dead. The double standard is obvious. I can't even fathom why you stay here and post so much about this topic when you switched systems years ago.
