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

Both lack UWAs, Sony does not

I am in the market for a crop (maybe even FF) sensor system.

What I see is that Nikon and Canon both lack wide angle lenses for APS-c.

For Canon the 16mm f/2.8 might be considered an APS-c lens, because it's corners are soft on FF and it is rather small, and that is only 25-26mm FF equivalent; the zoom lenses begin at 29mm equiv.

Nikon lenses start with 24mm equiv, right.

But where are the lenses, zoom or prime, in the 10-15mm (15 - 24mm FF) range?

The EOS R 7, 10 and 50 is a very well thought out choice of crop sensor bodies, other than the Nikon Z50, Zfc and Z30.

In this Canon can only compared to Sony with the A6100, A6400 and A6600, where we both have UWA lenses and excellent AF.
