Why doesn't canon update drivers for Mac OS?

[whtw14]

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

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.

so am new to apple...just got M3 Mac Pro yesterday, camera I am using is 5D Mark iii ( which connects and transfers photos normally ). Apple does not register my 5D what so ever....

incompatible softwares ? or should I just use a card reader for transferring photos to Mac?
