The combination of primes with DO optics for bodies with DPAF focusing (and for the R5/6 IBIS) makes it possible for Canon to offer long focal length lenses for a FF platform with (likely) decent IQ and auto-focus performance that are shorter, smaller, lighter, and less expensive than anything else on the market. Leaving out IS helps them be lighter and less expensive. All who need better low-light performance already have access to the IS-equipped, weather-sealed, large-aperture EF line of big whites which will continue to serve their needs well until RF equivalents become available.
This is simply opening up a new market segment that will bring super-telephoto lenses to a new set of consumers and help to make the entire R-line more appealing.
