The 300 is the only prime lens that has been replaced with a zoom, so far.
There’s 135, 400, 600, 800 and 1200mm primes.
There’s no 200mm yet, but that wasn’t a 2.8 either, so it just hasn’t been replaced yet.

The 100-300 weights about 300 grams more than the EF 300mm f/2.8 IS II without adapter, and it can take teleconverters as well.

Sure, it costs a big chunk of money, but it delivers. I doubt they’ll make a fixed 300mm f/2.8 anytime soon.

Thank you. When you can't afford two of the classic workhorses (they are also missing an RF version of the 500mm f4) whether it delivers is a moot point. I am moving back from Olympus to FF, and it is these gaps in their lens line-ups that is making me compare adapting EF lenses or stump up the extra and go to Sony. But I really like Canon.
Lenses used to be Canon's strong point now, not so much...they seem to be majoring on keeping their pro-base happy more than looking at what the wider customers think.

Everytime I see these prices I laugh my ass off... How is the Euro worth more than the dollar when the Eurozone lacks Britain, and every country except Germany and France are going broke or are already broke???

Because you do not have a clue about Europe and the state of the economy: France has a debt of 116% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (almost twice the EU norm of 60%), the UK 103% of the GDP. Germany 64% of the GDP. The USA ratio is 125%, forecasted to rise to 143% by 2030.
