Canon saw the future, and jumped into it with both feet. Some people complained, and switched brands, but Canon gained much more than they lost. Pentax and Nikon eventually ended up at the same place, following the path Canon rejected, but it took them thirty years to get there, while {in the case of Nikon}, leaving a trail of compatibility charts behind them.
It will be interesting to see how MILC plays out.
All others have copied the Canon system in every detail.
It has just taken decades for them to figure it out.
I believe Canon is slow in mirrorless for the same reason but hopefully not too slow.
But as to the T80 I never used one, was overseas on deployment for the short time it was out and have always wondered about it.
I like having it in my small collection showing Canon SLR developments over the decades, both successes and abject failures (Though those failures provided a lot of data as to what to do and not to do). I will give Canon credit for trying interesting concepts in the past that were at times questionable.
R2000 with the advance on the bottom, neat idea until you put it on a tripod then pretty stupid.
Lots of fun for me.
