Canon has always positioned the 1 series cameras since the 1DX as the speed demon instead of the "do it all" camera.
1Dx mk1 was 18MP vs the 22 MP of the 5D mk3, a minor 20% definition increase.
The gap increased with the 30 MP 5D4. The gap further increased with the 45 MP R5 and is now huge. But it was not originally the case.
