Newer C80 missing basic features that older C70 has?

So the C80 has been out for almost 10 months now, but it is still missing basic features that was present in the older C70. I initially thought it'll be rolled out in a firmware update, but fast forward to the recent July update and these basic features are still missing.

1. View assist on log footage during playback - C70 has this feature. Even the non-cinema R5 II has this. Why would a cinema camera disable view assist during playback is baffling to me, and often leads to clients asking why the footage looks washed out when showing a playback.

2. Customizable select dial - Canon added it to the C70 through a firmware update, but some how it was removed from the C80? Very weird.

Contacted Canon to ask why these features were missing/removed, but they simply didn't give an explanation.
