Of course. At the same time, the R doesn't do automatic focus stacking.While a lot of the 'crippled' talk is people not understanding technology, there are bits where Canon did cut functionality just for the sake of segmentation. An obvious example is that the RP silent shutter mode doesn't allow you to set shutterspeed nor aperture, it's a 'scene mode'.
I'm not sure what to make of the M6II forcing a full mechanical or full electronic shutter, I would love to have EFCS as an option.
Segmentation, though, is not arbitrary. Canon and every other manufacturer, does what they think will generate the maximum amount of profit. What frustrates me with the throwing around of the word "crippled" is the implication that no other camera manufacturer "cripples" their cameras. Cripple has a strong negative connotation and belies the writer's lack of understanding when it comes to developing, marketing, and selling products.
Features such as DPAF showed up in the 70D first, I believe. That and the touch screen and articulating screen. They are blind, this "intentionally crippled" crowd, when it comes to features trickling up the product lines. The M6 Mark II is another example.
