my bet is that Canon will start by allowing Sigma to launch the three Apsc 1.4 primes to test the waters and silence a little bit the criticism.

Risky move: The 56mm f/1.4 is too much of a competitor to the RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm, and folks with R50, R10 and R7 won't buy the RF 50mm f/1.8 stm, so no bridge to full frame there.

Would love to see Tamron’s fast and affordable zooms as well but I don’t see that happening so soon.

Won't happen. Canon needs the margins of the f/2.8 L zooms.
