This is a new lens that is going to be released with the R8. The R8 has the same form as the RP and Canon is making the RF 24-50mm its kit lens option. This lens on the R8 makes for a very small, lightweight package and better suites its size. The RF 24-105mm STM is seen as an affordable,small, lightweight kit lens for larger bodies like the R, R6 and R5. The RF 24-50mm STM can also be purchased on its own.

This can be meant as a vlogging cam as well, like the Nikon Z30 (APS-C) or Sony A7C. Maybe even a slap in the face of Sony as the A7C is more expensive, although having IBIS which the R8 has not.
But f/6.3 @ 50mm is rather dark.
