And whether they bother to add firmware to older bodies.

They will never add it to older bodies, because their (R5, R6) IBIS can't rotate the sensor.

No idea about R6II, but it may have the same IBIS unit the original R6 had.

The R6 was one of the first bodies to get roll correction as part of the 5 axis IBIS system (along with the R5 ans R3). https://www.canon.com.cy/cameras/eos-r6/image-quality/

That said, I don't see them updating it into older bodies.

So do you think it is a possibility that Canon could unlock the Auto Level Horizon feature on the R6 and the R6 Mark via a firmware upgrade?  Or perhaps there are other hardware requirements and/or physical clearances needed for this feature to work in additon to the roll correction part of the 5 axis IBIS system.
