It's Sony, why am I not surprised...

That doesn't surprise me either. CF is huge compared to the other
options, and for most consumers is dead anyways. The only place it still
exists is DSLRs, and even most of those now have a secondary SD card
slot as an option. For more "prosumer" cameras CF is still the best
option due to speed (although the best SD cards come close).

All that said, a CF card reader can be made very compact, so if you're
lugging around a camera that needs CF (meaning it's big) adding a $5 CF
USB reader shouldn't be much of an issue.

IMHO.
