The anecdotes I couldn't hunt down? Here you go...

The first R-series camera, the EOS R, has a higher resolution imaging sensor. However, as seen in the Canon EOS R6 II vs. Canon EOS R resolution comparison, the R6 II is producing a sharper image. The R produces softer images than many other Canon cameras when the images are processed using the same settings. Why? I've asked that question multiple times and have received no answers. Are the RAW images de-tuned slightly, providing more latitude for the photographer to dial in their desired sharpness? Does the R have a stronger low pass filter? Or, is there some other cause? My question remains unanswered, but the EOS R6 II delivers very sharp results.

24.1 megapixels is sufficient for making commercial A3 size prints, but the pixel count is no reflection of the resolution and realism possible. In fact, the resolution performance of the EOS R3 exceeds that of the 30.4-megapixel EOS 5D Mark IV.*

I'll say there's a lot going on here including EF vs RF lenses, but, there's something to the claims if you look at TDP's comparison tool.
