For cross type sensitivity, wouldn’t we need quad pixel AF?
You would need an other type of orientation of many of the pixel. I like the Interview with Canon at IR, a very good source in the past for well informed interviews and there are a lot of nice talking points (flange distance, mount diameter etc.).
Due to the very high number of AF points the linear orientation is not a big problem:
"but when I asked the Canon engineers about it, they gave essentially the same answer the Nikon engineers had about the Z7: Thanks to the very high density of AF points, the chances of missing focus on a subject because it has no horizontal detail are very low. Even with a subject like window blinds, if the camera is the tiniest bit tilted relative to the subject, an edge of a slat (for instance) would cross an area covered by an AF point, letting the camera focus."
As the Z6/7 have clearly less AF PD points, they are at a disadvantage like Sony, as we all know. https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2018/09/15/canon-eos-r-qa-with-the-canon-engineers
