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.

Moving to R didn't work with me. No R-camera can offer such a (perfect) combination of small size, small weight, portability, IQ, color rendering, good handling and affordability.

For several years now there are regularly predictions here in this forum about the end of the M, about the phasing out of the M, about the disadvantages of the M, about the advantages of FF.......... Who cares?

If you want to move to R, yes, do it. But all grumblers have to accept that here in this forum there are still a lot of users who really like M-cameras and who have a lot of fun with these small boxes and its lenses.
