Still, Canon has every reason to be concerned. Canon has a long tail with the amount of ef lenses and momentum in the market. But if they can't deliver more influencers will move to Sony or Nikon, which will start a slow slide. I suspect if that happens it will help Nikon way more than sony (and possibly the L mount alliance cameras). I am 90% sure canon will be able to deliver, but I'm not 100% any longer.
By "influencers" do you mean "Youtube personalities"? If so, I think you (and they) vastly overestimate their importance. Youtubers and other social media "influencers" have heavy influence on a tiny slice of the population, which causes those in that bubble to extrapolate wildly. Pro sports shooters aren't going to switch systems because a teenager on Youtube said 4k is critical.
