It’s the R50 that needs the adapter with EX flash because it’s hot has no pins.
You're right, it looks very weird. I thought it'd be like the SL3's shoe, that simply lacks the center pin, but it's clearly just plastic. If so, it's Canon yet again flaunting their corporate evil greed 🤦
It's Canon cheapening their bottom-of-the line offering to make it more attractive to first-time buyers. The camera has a built-in flash anyway and will almost certainly have very acceptable high ISO performance, and they make an adapter available for people who want to use their old flashguns. I don't think many people buying this camera will want to use big on-camera flashguns, the R10 is more suitable for that. I don't know if the front-of-the shoe contacts will work any better for Canon than Minolta's weird 7000 AF series hotshoe worked for them.
My M6II has connectors like that for the viewfinder.
I keep the little cover on it when nothing is on the hot shoe.
I blow it out with the rocket blower too so I do not get dust or dirt up in there after using the hot shoe.
