would have thought the R and RP just become obsolete and we have R1,R3,R5,R6,R7,R10 for the foreseeable future

I won't be shocked if this happens. As time passes it seems Canon is following much of the same strategy in the R system as they did in the EF system. This would mean no FF cameras priced under the top APS-C model. I can see their bottom R FF camera just being a smidge above the R7. Also, it looks like the R7 is the only APS-C camera to get an Rx designation. The all other APS-C cameras will be Rxx or Rxxx.

EOS 6D debuted 2012 at about the same price as 7D did in 2009, and when 7D mark II came out in 2014, its launch price was about $100 higher than 6D's. So your premise is incorrect.

The 6D was $2,099 at launch and the 7D/2 was $1,799 at launch. The MSPR for the 7D was $1,699 at its launch in 2009. It appears that I am right?

Maybe it has something to do with geography? In Japan, launch price (body only) for 6D on canon.jp was 198K yen, 7D was "around 190K yen" (the best figure I could find with a quick web search), and 7D mark II's was 208K yen.
