Sony A1 II is a classic example of the term 'Planned Obsolescence'. Sony could have easily come up with a *$7500 A1 II* harbouring a *50MP Global Shutter Sensor*; but why should they when they don't have any other company in the market to challenge their supremacy, as Canon releases a rubbish camera in the form of R1 after whining for a whopping 4 years. Canon knows it can't compete with Sony in the game of sensor technologies so it is now relying on strange lenses to stay competitive in the market, whereas Sony PERFECTLY knows how to take advantage by keeping their cameras barely above Canon and release the next iteration (A1 III) with a global Shutter.
