Maybe the firmware removes the crop
We’re told that a major functionality firmware update for the Canon EOS R should arrive sometime in the first quarter of 2019.
Seems like Canon is little bothered with Nikon.

YCImaging‘s YouTube channel looks dramatically better since switching over to the Sony a7 III. The clean image and excellent detail is achieved by downsampling the 4K image from 6K and there’s the wonderful full frame shallow depth-of-field, along with pleasing skin tones.
Meanwhile, though I dig his meticulous attention to lighting and the orange and teal grade, Armando Ferreira’s video, recorded with the EOS R, looks like it was shot with a potato (pun intended). Lack of detail, combined with aggressive sharpening and noise reduction, along with a preposterous 1.8X crop in 4K, make Canon’s first foray into full frame mirrorless the one to avoid in 2018 (and beyond).
Note: Armando's overhead shots, taken with the a7 III, not only have more natural color, but also have true detail.
Anti Aliasing filter can be only set to work on frequencies typical to full resolution of sensor for photos.
As for 4K resolution for EOS R - it is simple scientific ways to see it, not all this bla-bla-bla stuff.
I've heard it said that the EOS-R has an Anti-Alias filter which softens the image a lot compared to the likes of the GH5 so that 4K looks like upscaled 1080 - however I don't think it IS just upscaled, as Canon would be toast in the video world if that were true.
