Even a blind squirrel finds and acorn every once in a while. The problem with the RP, and R, is poor AF and a terribly slow burst rate (especially in servo mode) makes the keeper rate when shooting moving targets very low.

Poor blind squirrel that I am, I find it impossible to recognise any accuracy in your sweeping dismissal of the RP, and I have posted evidence here to prove my assertion.

I find the assertions pretty odd. The RP has pretty accurate and confident AF. It's not as fast as the newer bodies and the lower end RF lenses don't have the fastest motors (RF 100-400 notwithstanding), but I've used *far* worse (hello Panasonic, every Fuji body before the X-S10/X-T4, A7RII / A7II, early m4/3 PDAF bodies).
