IMO, you have to buy into a system as it is, not how you think or hope it might be one day.

While I agree, this is difficult with a system which needs still to evolve. When I started with RF there weren't that much lenses yet and Canon didn't publish a lens roadmap. But at the end Canon wants to be / become the market leader also in mirrorless and I think they only can reach this goal when they have enough lenses.

I have seen way too many people make this mistake and get trapped as resale plummeted. I actually did this with Canon RF but was able to move on for minimal cost.... but it's not a gamble I'd recommend anyone else making.
