Lens design: why all RF zoom lens don't have a LOCK button?

Hello people,

I own a Canon RF 70-200 f4 L that has a button that locks zoom at 70mm. I just love this feature. Bought a RF 15-35 2.8 L and the same doesn't happen, it's always rotating the zoom and moving.

Why Canon just don't do this by rule? It's an fantastic feature to have!

Cheers!

Funny, I've wondered about the 15-35mm myself, though on mine there has never been even a tiny amount of "zoom creep." It's always been very tight. Still, it would certainly be a good option as time goes by, because I'll admit I have not used that lens as much as others over the several years I've had it.

Maybe version II will have it? If there is a version II.
