If you think about it, the reason Canon won't allow third parties is that they know their lenses aren't up to par and aren't worth their price. If they were truly confident in their products, they wouldn't care if third parties made lenses for their mount.

Imagine Sigma releasing their 50mm Art on the Z Mount. Nobody would buy it, because Nikon's own 50mm f1.8 is better optically while also half the price.

I think it more likely that the decision is based on sales numbers and profits than on confidence in their lenses.
