... but the R100 is such a fantastic camera............ 
Jokes aside I agree 100% with what is said. I would not have bought the R6II+24-105F4L kit, if it wasn't for the Black Friday deal last year which also included the vertical grip and 50mm F1.8.
Those were massive savings compared to the MSRP and still tough to swallow for a hobby at my skill set. Clearly I could have gone with an RP, R8, R or R6, which doesn't affect the lens prices though (in fact the 24-105F4L gets less savings in the kit with cheaper bodies, thus partially offsetting the body price difference).
Though amongst all the FF manufacturer Canon still has one of the more affordable line ups if I'm not mistaken, particularly at 1st party level.

Sigma has no plans to release RF AF FF lenses: “A few weeks ago, SIGMA also announced that they will soon start producing a Canon RF mount version of their APS-C lenses. According to Yamaki-san, the goal is to launch all of their current APS-C lenses in RF mount by the end of this year. Moreover, he added that they currently don’t have a plan to release full-frame RF mount autofocus lenses, but “they will do their best” to meet customers’ needs.”
