Oh, a conspiracy theorist are you?
I agree it does seem fishy.

Jack, I believe he don´t understand that there are no free meals! Canonrumors guy gotta make a living! Of course he will not splash everything, even if he has more info he will make it "slice by slice". Seems to me obvious and boy, can we criticize that?
About the cards....Chill out on this one! This is only a potencial problem for those who make video and will be using this camera to shoot video. For Stills purposes, there will not be a problem at all! You have great cards SD UHS-II in the market and for stills they will be more than enough.
Of course this got pros and cons!
For me pros are:
- more card/card readers availability (most Mac and Pc have SD door)
- Possibility of using existing cards making less expensive buying new media.
Cons:
- Using 2 different type of media (hate it!!)
- Although there are great sd uhd-II cards they don´t match this new cfexpress and they are slower. This will be very bad for video shooting because you practically will be stuck with one slot. For serious filmmakers this will almost compel the use of external recorders. Or you will need to splash a big money in a 256gb/512gb cards
In stills you can have a problem if you choose crappy inexpensive UHD-I cards writing 60/80mb/s. Of course in that situations, if you are using 1 good card and other not so good, it will slow your reading therefore buffer will fill faster. With this UHS-II cards you don´t have that problem 98% of the times. They are fast...Of course, this will be a powerful camera that will ask for powerful cards.Unless you use the camera for types of photo that really don´t need those 20fps or even 12 fps. For most types of photo any UHS-II card will be fine!
