For some people it is an advantage. selecting focus points in live view/video comes to mind.

Touchscreens have a reasonable place on the back of a camera. Not so much on cars.

Because Canon makes their own sensors, and that is how they chose to do it. I would assume it is significantly cheaper that way. They also had APS-H sensors for a while, with 1.3x crop. Unfortunately they are only in huge bodies, which is why I don't have one.
I for one really like the 1.6x crop sensor in my SL1, and I love the rest of the camera. Variety is the spice of life after all.

Orphaning? Should Canon stop all EOS mount production tommorow, which is exceedingly unlikely, there is a $100 mount adapter produced by Canon that allows full functionality of EOS lenses on the R line. There is a $200 version for the M line. Canon is hardly leaving EOS lens owners out in the cold.
