New R5 mk2 delayed?

Seems they are saying the rumor of R5 demise (or R5 II's rise) are greatly exaggerated

Firmware updates that offer extended product features are always welcome. Canon must want to make current unsold stock more attractive to new buyers.

I wonder if the R5mk2 is not production ready or it’s release has been stalled to allow old stock R5 bodies to clear through first at full RRP.

There are rumours of the Nikon Z8 coming soon, I thought Canon would release soon after.
