What ever happened to the high MP R5s?

Lots of rumors more than a year ago of a pending announcement this year for a high MP R5s variant that have gone quiet for a little more than a year now. I realize that the R5c was a much more important development effort to put the overheating issues to bed. And the need to develop an R3 as well as an R1 also took priority. But will we see an ~90-100MP R5s this year?

I've no idea, but as far as I'm concerned 45MP is already high MP. I'm sure that Canon will bring out an even higher MP model sometime. This year? Who knows? From what I can tell, other models (not just the R1) are more important. The R was released almost 4 years ago. An update in that rough price point/market position seems more important to me than something with 90-100MP. But everyone has their own preferences, so there's always someone to be disappointed by what Canon (or any other camera company) chooses to do.

I work a lot with TC, so a higher resolution body would be useful to me. I'd rather have more MP than more glass behind the base lens. I took the 10% hit going from the 5DsR to the R5, and I would like to get that back with compound interest.

Realistically, I could also use a 90D type crop sensor with smaller pixels to get the added detail, because I don't need that much detail across the full frame. But I would rather shoot with just one high-resolution FF body in crop mode when I don't need FF.
