It depends on the position of the focussing group(s), where the focus ring is best placed. This then determines the position of the other rings. Not optimal, but understandable.

For me too, I'd want a more narrow FOV at 200mm than this extending lens probably offers. Cute that the lens is short in your bag, but that is not that important.

The EF 70-200mm f4 L USM does 0.21x magnification at 1.2m. This RF lens does 0.28x at 0.6m. That is a significant widening of FOV, regrettably. For the res, indeed, looks pretty nice.
