The new Canon bodies offers almost 3 extra stops of compensation. How did they do that?

Yes, I thought I remembered that Sony in extending their IBIS had to cope with their relatively smallish lens mount, presumably because of the image circle of the lenses. There are almost certainly ways of overcoming this, as they have already extended IBIS in the past, but it is a possible difficulty and constraint for their engineers that will bear watching in terms of their IBIS improvements in subsequent models and how well they are able to compete with Canon on this feature.
For me, the R5's expanded IBIS is the main attraction and advantage that camera has over the Sony line (which, I hasten to add, has advantages and attractions of its own).
