DO elements are expensive to produce, and at least in the 70-300mm DO IS USM lens, does not always produce the nicest of background renderings (the large 400mm f4 seems not to be as affected)...
Canon only has started its mirrorless lineup (only a 22mm f2, 11-22mm, 18-55mm, 55-200mm till now), so who knows if they will bring a higher end tele with DO element. And the wait is first on what the M3 will be like (will it have an EVF for instance?).
Different patents of DO designs have surfaced of the last 2 years or so, including a 180mm DO macro.
About the 24mm f2.8 STM, the rumor does make sense in that it claims that this lens will be a pancake design. This will make it nice for both FF and APS-C (38mm FF equivalent on APS-C, making it a nice street lens). I'd rather like this lens.
Edit: Actually, the rumour appears to be about a 24mm EF-S lens now. That is a bit odd, I guess, as a 22mm EF-S lens would be a bit nicer in "standard" FOV terms, like the EF-M 22mm f2 STM.
