The 80D/1D2/5D4 sensors are huge leaps forward for Canon.

Sure. Canon has so much going for it...
Glass
AF systems
Quality reputation
Customer service
Immense 3rd party accessory ecosystem
Large resale market
(unique tech on recent models: DPAF, anti-flicker, silent shutter, etc.)
...that the 'failure' the 5D3 represented to sensor testers didn't really do a damn thing to their sales. The 5D3 sold very, very well.
