I think Canon sees it as, if the lens has a tripod mount, the lens is too heavy to consistently be supported by the body mount.

Quite true, and as to hand-holding it's expected that one would grip the camera, with one hand, with the other hand on the lens.

It's also a matter of balance on a Tripod. or Monopod; a 6-pound lens attached to a tripod at the Camera mount would challenge the sturdiest Ball-head from sagging down.
