Why doesn't canon update drivers for Mac OS?

I forgot that canon does not update drivers and updated to Sonoma 14.1.1 and there isn't a driver update yet. this is ridiculous and has me wanting to leave canon altogether. I use my canon to stream on my computer, streamyard and now i can't use it to stream and who knows when they will update. very frustrating

this only happens with canon (as far as with what i use) and it will be months before they release an update


It happens to almost every brand that publishes FREE software for their camera customers.  A simple web search will show you that this also happens to Nikon and Sony.  The other brands are off my radar.

It is not in Apple’s best interests for third party camera to work seamlessly with Apple products.  Apple would much rather see you buy a “new camera” from Apple in the form of a new iPhone or IPad.  This is exactly why you cannot use an external camera with Apple apps like FaceTime.
