Does anyone know if Canon officially claimed that they will not tolerate any 3rd party lenses for the RF mount? I mean...the R was released many years ago by now and we still have no native mount alternatives other than Canons own superexpensive glass. Or the cheapo kit-alternatives which seem to be mediocre at best.

I don't recall seeing any official statement saying that. And strictly speaking they couldn't claim that in the first place, the closest they could do would be to state that they do not tolerate anything infringing on their intellectual property / patents which is not quite the same.
