You keep insinuating that Canon is doing something illegitimate but, as far as I know, have offered absolutely no evidence. Funny that you continue to insinuate that Canon is being unethical, while making false accusations is definitely unethical in my opinion. If you know Canon is violating some laws please do let us know.
Of course, it is quite possible that they are doing nothing wrong whatsoever. Perhaps the patent laws and other proprietary codes permit Canon a certain period of exclusivity for selling RF mount products similar to how drug companies have a 6 year period of exclusivity for their new products before generic versions can be made. I hope you haven't been or never are in that situation, but for folks prescribed a non-generic drug it might mean the difference between serious illness and living a normal life if they can't afford the non-generic version and have to wait until the generics are available. For folks who have been in that situation, your seemingly over-the-top reaction to buying what amounts to a luxury item for most people totally lacks perspective. Every person can wait to buy a lens - either waiting until 3rd party lenses become available or waiting for used or refurbished RF lenses from Canon. No one needs to buy these lenses, a point you seem unable to come to grips with.
And, of course, the other obvious answer for anyone so annoyed or pissd off, or thinking unethical things are happening, you can buy another brand of camera. Buy another brand, buy whatever lenses are available for that brand. There is no monopoly. You have choices.
Not sure why you don't get the fact that THEY DON'T NEED A CHOICE 3RD PARTY OPTIONS. There, all caps so maybe you get it this time. All EF mount lenses can be bought instead.
For you, in your opinion. You keep stating these things as if they are objective truths
Again, in your opinion. Darker apertures allow lighter, smaller and cheaper lenses. I could just as easily call that goodwill on the part of Canon, as well as technologically progressive. Don't you get it? - you are applying your personal desires to your opinions. If someone was hoping that these new mirrorless lenses were smaller and lighter, than - if we apply their personal desires - these lenses are progressive. Somehow you keep assuming that the ability to make lenses smaller and lighter just doesn't count. Maybe for the majority of lens buyers, that counts more than keeping the same apertures as the EF versions.
We get that you don't like software corrected lenses. You don't have to keep repeating yourself as to how awful these lenses are. I think most would disagree that they are awful. In some cases corner sharpness after correction are better than similar EF lenses.
