If true, that's a kiss-of-death for Canyon high end bikes.

It's not just Canyon. There are a lot of bike models that use parts such as this. They make them in various sizes or shapes for the model run, and once the "new" model comes out with some other design, they stop making them. Once they are gone, they're gone. Aero seat posts are right up there on that list. You ride your bike a few years, and something happens to the saddle rail clamp. Now you find you can't get a seat post that fits anymore. Your expensive, super aero bike has just become a piece of wall art, unless you like to pedal out of the (non-existent) saddle 100% of the time.
