I hope it takes the same grip/accessories because we will see the price come down and maybe 3rd party grips.
I would not go out of my way to change my body due to it having 2 card slots. I do not care --- now if it has some other cools tuff... maybe
Realizing Canon had to spend a huge wad on the design and tooling for manufacturing, I'm guessing one reason for the spendy battery grip is on account of the battery being the same as the 60D, 80D, 5D mk ii, 5D mk iii and 5D mk iv. A lot of people buying the EOS R probably have extras of the same battery and didn't need to order extra batteries or chargers. I have almost a dozen extra batteries.
Some people said the EOS R was overpriced, but after using it, I think it was priced right or slightly under priced.

After removing grips from my 5D mk iii and 5DS it felt weird at first, but now it feels normal and comfortable. Considering I carry at least two bodies in my backpack, without grips I found how to carry 3 bodies now with lenses attached. With room for more lenses.
The EOS R certainly feels smaller like you said. I still have an M5 (for sale) and it's so compact, it may be what makes the EOS R seem normal too.
