I've had a theory for a while that Canon will create new mirrorless product tiers based on including this feature. With this morning's R7 / R10 announcements, we see maybe this theory in practice. In the upper tier EOS R7 (mirrorless evolution of the EOS 7D-series bodies), we see 32MP, 15 fps mechanical and 30 fps electronic, 2 card slots, and all the technology and weather resistance features of a premier sports / wildlife body with a cropped sensor.

In the EOS R10, we see a lot of advanced technology, including: 24MP, 15 fps mechanical and 23 fps electronic, 1 card slots, Eye-tracking AF. But, in this lighter weight and lower-priced modern technology marvel, we see the IBIS missing along with the mirror.

We saw something similar in Nikon's mirrorless cropped Z50, and the Z fc too. Use IS / VR lenses and you won't miss the camera's missing IBIS. But, if you're looking to consolidate all your lenses, including the legacy lenses back to the film-era, onto a single digital platform, this missing IBIS may remove some of the camera models from consideration.

These cameras from Canon and Nikon differ from Sony's approach where IBIS is a standard feature in all the mirrorless bodies, cropped and full-frame.

I'd like to see more standardization. If IBIS is good, put it in all cameras. All cameras have autofocus now. I hate it when companies leave features out or add features just to play with prices. Sure, you can add special features to high end cameras, but if there is a standard feature that will benefit everyone, it should be in all cameras. Of course, then they would have to decide how to make the high end cameras better, but more MP and fps should cover that. And while we're at it, let's stop making crop sensor bodies. In SLR days, we didn't have 35mm cameras and 23mm cameras.
