I think designing lenses is not Sony's problem; it is producing the finished product. These low volume specialized lenses need people with a set of skills. Unlike Canon and its automated assembly lines, Sony builds these lenses by hand and production is low. Cost is the only way they can lower volume to match production.
Canon also hand assembles their super tele lenses. And, Sony also uses automated assembly lines for their lenses, except the GM 400mm lenses, at least so far. In that respect, they are not different from each other. You posted this before recently and someone rebutted your claim and provided you with a link or some links, documenting that. Apparently you didn't read his post or you forgot about that and I don't feel like digging for that.... . Anyway, Canon cameras, or more correctly, Canon sensor may not be up to snuff but most of their lenses, especially the super tele lenses are top notch. I am just saying and sorry for being blunt...
I don’t know if this is the resource the other person linked to, but here‘s an article from Imaging Resource where they toured the Canon Utsunomiya Factory. This is where all Canon’s L lenses are manufactured. Including all their super telephotos.
