Won't you agree that the average canon R user would feel a bit "meh" knowing that s/he had to plug the damn adapter for his brand new midrange lenses, that might also become not 100% working with future camera releases? And do you think that Sigma and Tamron are really planning their future line up under these circumstances?

I don't feel even a tiny bit "meh" about the adapter; it lets me use most of my lenses on my DSLR and my small (EOS M) cameras too.

I do. Especially if I had to buy a new lens. I just ordered my first RF lens (24-105 f4L) and I'm looking forward to its compact and lighter size, sticking the adapter on another lens instead of the body. I don't mind the adapter on smaller lenses like my sigma 50 or canon 100mm f2, but for my mostly used, all-around lens I certainly do (of course, given there's the choice of not using it).

Are either of us the average canon R user? The adapter lived on the camera for the first couple of years, so effectively I had an EF mount EOS R.

That's you. I'm different and I'm happy to know that the adapter won't live on my camera any longer. Time will tell but imagine any photographer who is now switching to FF. Checks sony: plenty of lenses and brands. Checks Nikon: 3rd parties have started to release their lenses. Checks canon: either entry level lenses, or the not-so-cheap 24-105 f4, or premium, or "I see an adapter in your future". Ahem...
