I don't think manufacturing EF lenses would slow down RF introductions.

Without a reliable data about all the production cycle we can not guess anything. Or rather we can guess anything but the reliability is simple zero. What you wrote might be true very much the same as it does not have to be true.

They just need to make a commitment to RF introductions, which they have not.

Yeap.

There is still a huge market for EF lenses.

Especially for the third party ones, since Canon lacks so many RF mount lenses (FF and primarily crop).

What I find more disturbing is that Canon has bailed on servicing EF lenses so quickly. Perhaps this strategy better explains why they want to halt EF lens production asap. One of the key reasons people buy the latest $5000 plus EF lenses is that they think they will be serviceable for five years or more. Obviously this may not be the case, so effectively Canon is shooting themselves in the foot by suspending service.

Being shot to one leg resembles that Canon will be in a very serious existential troubles very soon. Which is of course not gonna happen.
