You're forgetting a "little" problem: Sigma have limited manufacturing capacity, and their lines for full frame are pretty much maxed out just with the current volume. The same goes for Tamron, their business for E-mount and Z-mount alone is brisk enough that they have little spare capacity to produce lenses for other mounts. Well, they do a ton of OEM work too, but we don't know exactly which models they make under that arrangement.Sigma has 6 APS-C lenses in their lineup, and 30 FF lenses. Why do you think that is? Could it be that they sell a LOT MORE full frame lenses? Or are they just that dumb and they keep releasing more & more FF lenses when the "real demand" is with APS-C?
Believe it or not, Sigma is not dumb. They make incredible FF lenses and sell a LOT of them. Except not on RF, where for "some reason" they only sell APS-C. This isn't rocket science, Sigma is not allowed to sell FF glass on RF. Maybe that will change. Maybe not. But let's not try to make the nariative something that is obviously not true. Sigma would be selling FF on RF if they were allowed to.
Sigma's APS line, however, is mature and has probably seen a stable amount of sales for years now. Which means that introducing a new mount into that mix is much easier, especially when there's a big market starved for better optics. Just the fact that they're moving pretty aggressively, and that all of their APS catalog will be ported by next year should be causes for optimism. Nikon, who are most definitely selecting each new introduction on a case by case basis, haven't allowed Sigma to release most of their crop lenses, much less any full frame ones. Canon might be more generous, who knows.
