I keep thinking (wishing) that too but if you go by Canon's model numbering for the R series it goes, without break, from most expensive (R30 to least expensive (R10). An R5 is normally $3900. I can't see a crop sensor body, even if borrows the R3's body, going for 4K+ or actually anything close to the R5's MSRP. Even the esteemed Nikon D500, which in its day was a pro-ish crop body was priced at $2K, about the same as Nikon's lower level FF bodies.

A crystal ball just rolled onto my front porch! Upon looking into it, I see a R7X in the future; a more professional APS-C body (available grip, faster read times etc.) This would leave room for a lower priced R7 Mark II a couple of years after.

....just about the time I figure out how to hold onto my R7 without a grip Your probably right lol

Let's see if we can help you out.  Can't you just hold the camera mostly with the left hand on the lens?  I'm not sure my little finger fits much on the camera either, but I've never actually noticed.  I could lend you my M6 II for training, and after that, the R6 would feel huge.
