Lol. You're welcome to your opinion. Personally, I think choice is a good thing. It's a $200 (kit cost) standard zoom lens for FF. Nothing crippled about it, you're getting what you pay for. If you can't afford 'stupidly expensive' high-quality zooms, you're not alone. Canon is offering a FF camera with a standard zoom for $1700.
The 24-105/4L that I'll use often on the R8 will overbalance the body...

...and it cost nearly as much as the R8.
The 24-50 is the right size for the R8, and a good match...

As I said, you don't like...don't buy. But if there wasn't a market for this lens, Canon would not have made it.
