I don't understand Canon's legal actions against third party manufacturers. The near ubiquitous support of the EF mount by third parties is a huge reason Canon was so popular.

It's the other way around.  The popularity of the EF mount is why the third parties were so keen to reverse engineer lenses to fit it.

Sony never would have taken the number two spot without third party support.

Which is why they encouraged it. You still need Sony / Zeiss lenses to take full advantage of all the functions of the latest Sony bodies.

Whatever Canon's reasoning may be, it certainly does not leave a positive impression with consumers.
