But what do you substitute the 10-22 EF-S or 17-85 IS EF-S with?

I don't substitute as I don't see much need for 16mm with a 1.6 crop.

Some of us however do, which is why the 10-22mm presumably exists.

Well why buy a 10-22 when in reality it is only a 16-35 on the 1.6
sensor and won't work on FF?

Because FF compatibility isn't required but the FOV of a 16-35mm on
the 1.6 sensor is?

I find my 17-40L and 24-80L do fine for that range and will also work
as designed with my 5D.

I can appreciate that, but if (a) an effective 28mm isn't wide enough
and (b) a FF camera doesn't enter the equation then the 10-22mm makes
sense.
