R50 - no hotshoe pins??

Maybe it’s a stronger fit with the extra bolt on hot shoe adapter …

Perhaps it’s a weak point of the lighter R50 build quality, like the reported loosening hotshoe of the R6 mk1. Lots of leverage flex on the hotshoe with large flashgun  swinging around.

….or maybe it obfuscates 3rd party flash makers from making a compatible direct fit speed light.

Probably still cheaper to buy the adapter and a 3rd party flashgun rather than a Canon direct mount new interface flashgun.
