Regarding the lack of robustness, it can be argued that the R6 and R5 offer very robust solutions in autofocus and IBIS as well as in video. Ultimately, it is unlikely that the available range will be exhausted in realistic use. I am aware that these totally exhaustive options would not have been available, but I cannot entirely agree with you. The R and RP were simply toys for market analysis, just like the first Canon M.
Where I could fully agree with you, marketing has become much more radical and exploitative here. However, the manuals very openly point out what is not possible in practice and the limits you have to expect.
The manuals go so far with the restriction notes that potential buyers are downright turned down.
In guess, it will be difficult not to find a read in the manual about a deficiency that was found during some hand-on review.
For example, with the electronic shutter, the frame rate cannot be set, exposure cannot exceed 0.5 seconds, no exposure bracketing is available. Nothing that I'd expect from a mirrorless camera. Also major let-down for me!
