Just upgrade the firmware/software to enable additional features, then charge extra for it. Seems like a sure-fire way to do a "product refresh" in between new model releases.

This one was of my driving factors for upgrading to an R6.

That limitation infuriated me, I shoot "silent" ES almost 50% of the time, I get much more genuine shots in candid moments from friends and family, most of whom know the sound of camera shutters and react with over-animated fake smiles instead.

Most of my ES shots were ruined because of the auto shutter speed decisions the camera made, and no focus tracking or burst shooting.
