Just the shear number of threads on this topic shows it's polarizing enough that Canon needs to address it better than they have.
Not really.
Shear number of Comments/treads, many of which started by those whom have ZERO intent to ever buy Canon, regardless or not if they had every 3rd party Lens Option ever made.
OP has plenty of Canon gear, and there have been plenty of current RF shooters who have made similar complaints, as well as former ones who left once Canon's position on 3rd party glass. If you don't like discussions about the 3rd party issue, cool.... skip past the threads.... but don't lie or launch ad hominems at the people in them lol
Blank Brand users are well known for their endless attack on Canon. Long before 3rd talk has now been the most recent farce endless conversation. So whether or not the OP has plenty of Canon gear is really beside the point.
So if the OP and you refuse to get that, well that is a You Problem. If Canon was to switch today and have all 3rd options, we would still see the same number of endless attacks on Canon, just using another farce debate. Like the farce C-Hammer, which all brands use.
So all this talk, most Likely from the same folks that were claiming, The Gear doesn't matter. LOL indeed.
Well at least I can't get accused of that. I've got Canon, Nikon, used to be a Pentax man and have a Sony RX10. Now where did I put that Konica APS film camera...........
I guess neither can I. I have a quite decent pile of Canon EF lenses purchased between 2004 and late 2010's, and a few Sigma ones. I haven't tried all of them on my R7, but at least the 14mm f/1.8A and 50mm/1.4A seem to work at least as well as better (considering IBIS and in case of the 50mm/1.4A, better AF servo reliability) as on my DSLRs.
Would I like to have native RF AF lenses? Sure, but for now it's not that important. Once the lenses I have malfunction and it's no longer possible to repair them I guess that'll be way more relevant to me, but that's in the future for now, and at that point availability of native Canon RF equivalents or 3rd party lenses may well be different.
