We have no idea what the AF systems are under the covers, which is "newer" or "better", because we don't know the R&D cycles inside the Canon walls, nor the code base that makes up the firmware. We cannot draw conclusions based on release dates nor what processors exist and how many, because we don't really know what the technical details for that really might be. They are just CPUs that run code, and we have no idea how Canon distributes function calls or their threading models across Digic This and Dual Digic That.
So it seems quite silly to argue anything around this, especially who is "right" and who is "wrong". The only thing we can agree on is that Canon will protect model lines by limiting either physically via hardware, or with code or configurations, their top of the line cameras from their mid level and lower level models.
Also, there are some of us that really know how to configure and use our gear, and there are others that don't. We also don't all shoot the same thing. Therefore we need to curb our zealousness with the knowledge that we all don't use our gear the same way shooting the same things, therefore we will all have different experiences. I was using my 7D2 running circles around a Getty photographer that was using a 1DX in the past, because I knew my gear and could process my results in a far more superior method than he, but that doesn't make one camera better than the other.
