I'm not convinced that Canon has actively tried to phase out any of their past systems

i think by not updating the better selling flagship namely the M5 and no lenses since about 2018 canon was clearly actively encouraging folk to move to the R mount ...it worked with me.. although i did look at other systems but went for an R6..

apart from perhaps the change from FD to New FD. But they're not in a position to do a Leica or a (Ricoh) Pentax.

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
