I really think that for Canon there are only two types of users: Occasional shooters (let's call them "consumers" for now) and the so called "professionals" (= press & famous photographers). They totally forget about the "enthusiasts".
"Consumers" only need mid-quality video features, certainly no 24p and no high end 4K and the like. There's also no need for good primes on a system made for "Consumers" - that is the EOS-M.
"Professionals" will buy or rent a decent (Cinema EOS) camera if the need one. So: No need for exceptional video features in higher end photo cameras as well.
But the "Enthusiasts", the wedding photographers, music video people and all who want one camera for everything (due to cost and size reasons) are still left alone by Canon's decisions.
But the FW update with enhanced eye-AF and the re-introduction of 24p makes me hope that there is a change going on at Canon headquarters. *fingerscrossed*
