Feature Request: Keep R5 Shutter Closed When No Lens is Attached

Should Canon implement a function where the shutter is ALWAYS closed if no lens is attached?

This minor improvement will greatly reduce the risk of dust getting to the sensor. Anyone know why the Canon Engineers did not think about this?

Implementing this function in Firmware is possible because the camera knows if a lens is attached or not and even what lens is attached.

Would love to hear everyones thoughts,
