They have one camera that shoots proper 4K video, the last time I bothered to waste time looking. Even if for some strange reason someone actually wanted to use one, they couldn't in this application.
Wedding shooters have also all but abandoned Canon DSLRs for Sony and Panasonic mirrorless in droves, but those still bring a lot of the same limitations that shooting on a DSLR bring. There are quite a few even shooting on RED, Sony and Blackmagic Cinema Cameras.
We have two camera packages Blackmagic Ursa / Ursa Mini 4.6k and Sony a7sii / fs100. There's not a single camera in the Canon line up that is in the same league as these cameras. You might be able to get away with shooting porn on one, but if I showed up to a corporate gig in NYC with a DSLR camera, I wouldn't be working much after that.
You can laugh, but the folks I see still using Canon photo cameras for video are folks buying their first cameras, folks getting hand me downs from others (my 8 year old has a 5DmkII) and people who are no longer taken seriously
