Every now and then, I take a pause from using my almost magically-competent, performing and engaging Canon RF gear - an experience that almost touches perfection - and drop by threads like this one to have a good laugh.

I am always left wondering: Is it more tragic that people will never know what they could be benefiting from or that they seem so unsatisfied and frustrated with what they use that they have to start this kind on nonsensical, sad, sad "discussions"?

That's a sweeping oversimplification and a rather laidback generalization. We cannot polarize people here into "frustrated" versus "making do with what I have."

All of us here are actively using Canon gears and have likely sank a good amount of money on such. Asking Canon to be more liberal about third-party lenses is not expressing frustration. It is elevating a request to a level where we might get heard.

Asking a company to act against their own best interest does not make a lot of sense.

People use mental gymnastics to make it seem like it is in Canon's best interest.  Dubious arguments in my opinion.  But, the mental gymnastics are kinda entertaining.
