I chose sony mostly because sony (reportedly) has the best AF and there are a lot of 3rd party (i.e. cheaper) lenses - but really the difference is how it feels to use which is kinda nebulous
most of my photos are wildlife and most of those are on an a6700 *but* I might also like it cause I have it

if you're ok with adapting, there are good adapters for Sony e-mount if you want to look at e.g. the Sony a6700 which imo edges out the R7 (having played with both and then ended up with the 6700)

depending on budget (since it's 2x the price) the new R6mk3 is an amazing camera in the Canon system
depending on what you're coming from the r7 will be a big step, but the 6m3 is a huge jump in things like AF performance, precapture, etc.

I have sympathy for Matrix's problems, but so much also feels SO self-inflicted. That is - I think the biggest defence bsky/atproto has is "we aren't those guys".
(And just taking the chance to link this, which I think is a good skim of why Matrix just isn't good at scale.)
