But should it not be possible to give us a 14-bit-readout with slower frame rates oder at least in single shot? Like the Sony A7IV does? This would be incredibly helpful!

I could be wrong, but I am assuming that the analog2digital converter is a ramp comparator, which would mean that it takes 4x as long to read out each pixel or pixel row with 14-bit readout which would result in a rolling shutter 4x as slow as 12-bit.

That would greatly reduce the usefulness of e-shutter mode with all R bodies but the R3.

For the R7's sensor that would be about 1/8s rolling shutter.  About 1/15 for the R5.

Beware of correct answers to wrong questions.
