Will Canon offer a tilt screen for photographers?

I have tried the flip out screen that content creators and vloggers rave about and can say that I am completely turned off by this design. My camera is now wider when flipped out, I have extra steps to take when positioning the screen for viewing, gets in the way of my strap, etc. It's just awkward and fiddly. The tilt screen on my Sony RX100iv is quick, easy, and non-obtrusive. I find this much better for someone who uses a camera from behind the lens. I own Canon DSLRs and L lenses so it's safe to say I am invested in this brand. Mirrorless cameras are becoming appealing but the screen Canon offers is a major turn-off. Is Canon planning to offer a high-end camera specifically for photographers that will have a tilting screen? Sony is out the question but the Z9 and the soon to be released Z8 is looking better and better. I will definitly change brands over this one issue. Some can call it petty but a small annoyance eventually becomes a big problem.

The lack of a tilt screen is why I do not consider buying a Canon camera. I do street photography and photography for when I'm hiking out in nature, and in both cases, my camera gets pretty heavy use. A fully articulating screen seems way too fragile and susceptible to damage in those situations. Also, for street photography, a fully articulating screen makes it much more obvious what I am doing, and thus harder to get candid shots.
It is hard for me to understand why Canon, supposedly the biggest camera company, does not offer the option of a tilting LCD screen. 

 

I can only imagine they do their research amongst videographers. Street seems to get a raw deal, sony seem to be leaning to articulated, Fuji refuse to make full frame. Nikon Z6 is looking like the best option.

Best option for me i must add.
