It is not rocket science....... it is called reverse engineering......and
for Nikon, the same SLR approach has been around for what, 45 years?
Canon, while newer, can not be that much more difficult.

You can have AF and all the other goodies the same way..... reverse
engineering.   But then, that would not be the Leica way, they would need to
redesign it ( forever) to be better......

Well, if Leica could figure out a way to make Canon mount lenses that
support auto diaphragm, they would be in business. Forget about
autofocus and all the other stuff. I doubt that Canon will change
something that basic every few years. Leica could also be smart
(maybe) and design the lenses so they could be easily upgraded, if
Canon decided to screw everyone.
