What ever happened to the high MP R5s?

R1

There's no reason to believe Canon was ever planning to bring two high resolution bodies. Prior, it was not clear that there would be an R1, so rumors of a high res body was assumed to be talking about the R5s, but with the clear distinction of the need of an R1, it makes no sense to bring out an R5s before an R1. IMO, it makes no sense to bring an R5s if an R1 materializes, at least in the near future.

So my guess says will get an $8,000 R1 with 70-90MPs later this year and if there is still a market for it, and potentially an R5s 2 years down the line using a similar sensor to the R1 if it is not the crazy unicorn rumored previously (global shutter, with high res).
