Why we might never see Canon’s APS-C primes

There are 3 APSc cameras already and ZERO RF-s prime lenses or interesting zooms like the M 11-22mm. No even a roadmap to speculate.

My take is Canon does not want to create competition or risk its full-frame share.

If they produce f1.4 compact and affordable APS-c lenses, why upgrade? They had great M-mount lenses because there was no full-frame M market to risk.

They know R7 users are happy with full-frame lenses so R10 and R50 bodies are just a way to get people into the Canon ecosystem, maybe some will upgrade to full-frame, or simply keep those “Best Buy” kits for their Disney family holidays.

I believe is the exact same thinking as Nikon with their Z50, I wonder what do you think?

Nikon has done a lot better job with lenses for APSC than Canon.  Their 16-55 is a well regarded optic with a useful FL range.  Compare it to the RFS 18-45.  The FL range is smaller yet the lens is much larger than the Nikon.  Nikons tele zoom goes out to a more useful 250 vs 210 and is faster.

Nikons got a few compact FF lenses which would work well on APSC bodies such as 28 2.8 and 26 2.

Both systems lack a UWA zoom though.

Sony and Fuji both have vastly more APSC lenses along with 3rd party support.

I actually kind of like the tiny R50 as a secondary camera to my R gear, but the lens situation is not good.  I don't want a lot of lenses but one good standard zoom like the Nikon 16-55 would get me on board.  The 18-45 just seems like a poor effort and unfortunately Canon gives us zero idea of what may be coming.
