And LOL @ Fuji. A fast standard prime would make a modicum of sense, since Fuji can't make FF on that X-mount. 33mm f1.0 would be a 50mm f1.5 FF equivalent. They apparently scrapped it because they were at 1300 grams (for a 50mm f1.5 equiv.....). Just a quick comparison: the Canon RF 32mm f1.4 STM weighs 23 grams.
So now they will make a 50mm f1.0 for APS-C (FF equivalent: 75mm f1.5). Yeah, 75mm FF equiv. is a very popular FOV.
Somehow I think that designing a 33mm lens that is one stop faster than that 32mm Canon without it being that huge and that heavy is not impossible.
I think you meant to say 235g for the Canon RF 32mm f1.4. 23g for such a lens would be quite an achievement! ;-)
That being said I agree that 1.3kg for a Fuji 33mm f1, no matter how good, is simply absurd. Some Fuji lenses are very large for not such good reason. Although they are good, these are too big for what they are IMO: Fuji 16-55 f2.8, Fuji 80mm f2.8 macro, Fuji 90mm f2.
