Your complaints are easily fixed by adding a battery grip to the Sony,
If only that were true. While sony has some amazing internal tech their body design leaves a lot to be desired. Look at the A9 for example. You can't change the width of the body so you are forced to jam your fingers into the narrow gap between the grip and all the 2.8 zooms plus the new 100-400. Look at your hand position on the A9 as well. It's all scrunched up because there is no room to give buttons decent spacing.
It sucks right now. Canon won't or can't match the A9 internal features and Sony won't or can't give us a decent ergonomic body. Still waiting for someone to come out with both.
+1 ... till then, we all have to choose our poison(s) vs. our wants vs. our needs.
Sony had a grand chance to make the A9 in the ergonomic form closer to the A99, but with all their mirrorless goodies ... and (dare I say) were "insane" not to since ergonomics is probably one of the top 3 issue that keeps DSLR shooters from going mirrorless with Sony. The extra real estate of a diff format body would afford Sony, not only the opportunity to address the ergonomic issues, but it would also have afforded them additional opportunities for power / heat dissipation / battery improvements as well.
So ... Sony made their decisions (not "insane") that some folks disagree with and Canon made their decisions (not "insane") that some folks disagree with. Don't like it, don't buy it. But, that doesn't dictate that either company's decisions were insane. If folks think Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji is the "way of the future" go for it ...
It's that simple.
