Their response is nonsense. Photographers everywhere have been carrying long lenses over their shoulders mounted to tripods, monopods, and gimbals for decades. If the tripod collars were as weak as they imply, this practice would have quickly proven to be unpopular and rare.
I would have no qualms about carrying any Canon lens via a strap mounted to its tripod collar, as long as the tripod collar were securely tightened down.
Putting that much weight and stress on the lens mount is also ridiculous. Have no idea where they came up with that idea.
