There are far more EF mount cameras than RF mount cameras in use so it's strange business to stop producing products for the larger market at this point.

It's not a strange or unknown strategy for Canon .

So are AF systems that don't track and mirrors that fall off.

In the 80's they dropped their FD mount manual focus gear in favour of the EF Autofocus gear and it worked out for them .

If I remember correctly, Canon continued to manufacture FD lenses for a long time after the EF mount was introduced.
