From an interview with Sigma CEO:

Question: En contraste [à propos Nikon] Canon continue de verrouiller sa monture RF. Selon vous, quels sont les bénéfices à une telle stratégie de fermeture ?

Réponse: C’est une décision stratégique de Canon, donc j’ignore quelles sont leurs intentions. D’un autre côté, la monture RF a seulement 5 ans, donc ils ont sans doute encore besoin d’un peu de temps pour étudier le marchė.

Quick translation:

”It’s a strategic decision of Canon’s [whether to open the RF mount to third parties]. I’m not aware what their intentions are. . .The RF mount is only five years old, so doubtless they need some time to study the the market.”

[I’m not sure whether I detect a hint of  dry sarcasm in Kazuto Yamaki‘s last comment or not. . .Canon watchers are welcome to explicate how long Canon usually takes to ‘study the market’ for some new development.]
