That's a huge advantage. I wanted an RF standard zoom lens but was priced out of the 24-105/2.8---it was more of the price than the weight. So I focused on the 24-105/4 or the 24-70/2.8. There were BF deals on both these lenses and I went with the faster lens. But the lack of 71-105mm is a compromise.
This time, it's about the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 USM IS. Canon has a bit of a mixed history regarding super zoom lenses. There is, of course, the mighty EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 USM L IS or its predecessor, the EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6 USL L - both loved and well respected within the photojournalist community.
The 24-240mm seems a pretty good lens for what it is that looks OK in the TDP tests. If you shoot subjects that lack fine detail, sharp edges that need to be defined or areas of low contrast that need to be seen, just like your secretary's little snowman, then most lenses will give similar results.
