The current AF system of Canon dslr's has been existing for a long time. Apparently the guy behind it is a company legend.

One reason could simply be that they have too much respect for the dude who designed the AF and don't want him to lose 'face'.
That's a scary corporate philosophy if that really is the reason why they aren't moving forward faster on AF tech. They are already behind the D5/A9 and now they will get further behind the D6/A9II because of a fear of one person losing face? Wow.
Don't underestimate the politics in big companies. Unfortunately, Canon is a company with a strong hierarchy and sometimes bureaucratic way of working (I've also heard this from people who have worked for Canon Europe HQ, not too far from my place here in the Netherlands). So they might be a bit slow in catching up with the accelerated technological advancements in mirrorless of the past few years and maybe have caught by surprise by Sony.
On the other hand, the 'break' in the trend and the more sudden move to mirrorless might be just the thing Canon needed to wake up and give it a bit of a shake.
