EOS utility update for Big Sur

Any idea when Canon will do the required testing /updatin and verify EOS Utility to work with Mac Big Sur? This happens everytime Apple upgrades the OS. It seems that, given the high use of Mac products in the photography world, Canon would be a big more proactive in ensuring that the software continues to work properly.

Catalina version works fine on my MacBook Air with Big Sur. Try that.

It is totally Apple's fault. This is how Apple does business, and force developers to keep upgrading their licenses.

[EDIT]. When MS Windows does a major OS update, nothing breaks. Nothing. Any software developer will tell you that it is a cardinal sin to break your code base whenever you do an OS update. Apple does it on purpose. Period.
