As cameras increase resolution and lenses become sharper there are types of photography where that is undesirable such as beauty shots and movie stars maybe Canon needs to revisit soft focus lenses between 50 - 135mm.

You can start with more detail and reduce it in post, you can't go the other way. I'm sure there are some that would like soft focus lenses but, overall I don't think there is a market for them anymore.
