In the Canon pro DSLRs like the 1D, 1Ds, 1D X models, the user could switch to spot metering and tie it to the focus point. I've wanted that feature for the EOS R5 but I'm wondering if it doesn't already have it.

No, the R5 does NOT have this feature. In Canon only the 1 models have had it.

I've shot with a couple 1Dx's and I SOOO much miss this feature on all other Canons.

With the 1Dx, I could pick out one face in a streak of light in a crowd and that face was almost always perfectly exposed!! That feature is Huge.

I assume with the R3 you can tie it to the Eye AF. That would be an amazing way to shoot that camera!!! I can only imagine what the R1 will bring!?!
