No, that's not the thing they need to do most of all. Perhaps it's what you most want them to do. That's not at all the same thing. A natural part of human development occurs when children realize that their own wants are not the universal standard for human needs. It seems that many posters on DPR are developmentally stuck.

Wow. You didn't like the R2-D2 joke then. Apparently you also take things very literally. Fair enough, so do I most of the time. Yes, I meant: 'this is what I would like them to do" which is as valid as anyone else's desires or frustrations the world over.

You have a point however, and I should have bought the R5 or R6II, I was just hoping to save money while waiting for the R5II, thinking I would get used to the R6.

The R3 is close to an ideal camera for me. But as a non-full-timer whose main desire in a camera is great family snaps, sometimes with large lens, sometimes lighter, I cannot justify hauling an R3 / 1DX size camera around.

It is my hope that Sony's A1/A7R5 may encourage Canon to make a high-end small camera, with an amazing viewfinder. Even at 5.76m dots with the OVF /HDR simulation, I'm sure it would be excellent, but the competition from Sony will potentially result in a  better camera.
