I wonder if there are thermal issues that may affect the life of the sensor? But it’s mostly a business decision I guess.

  Maybe a mix of multiple factors including "business"? - e.g. more cost effective to use the same HW on multiple devices but limiting their capabilities through SW by segment => total cost covered by many sold med-end devices AND few high-end devices? - and/or maybe what "magic lantern" allows to do wasn't certified to work on 100% of the HW. - and/or "magic lantern" did some own SW development, which would mean "additional costs" if done by a company (and here is where open source hits one of its targets?). Meaning that maybe at a certain point Canon said "ok, we've spent all our budget for this price class of camera vs. the expected earnings, so that's it". Cheers
