By "vastly improving" the peripheral sharpness (about time) on their L-
glass.

Canon:
The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is set to become the ultra wide-angle
zoom of choice for professionals. With vastly improved peripheral
sharpness, it replaces the popular EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM as Canon's
leading wide-angle zoom. A constant f/2.8 aperture ensures exceptional
low light performance and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom
range.

So the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is going to replace the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II
USM ???????

Admit it. All the hammering they've taken with their FF cameras
FORCED them to FINALLY update a lens design.
Could mean fewer people looking at cobbled-on alternative brands to
achieve the image quality they want.

Then why did they replace the 17-35 with the 16-35 a few years back?

Fewer than the present few? That's very "few" indeed.

I don't think there's any doubt that Canon's move to full frame digital has
a lot to to do with why the lens has been scrutinized more. I also think,
though, that many folks have forgotten what gull-frame film did to the
corners of their lenses... It wasn't perfect either... I'm just glad we
have bodies that are capable of literally pushing the limits of these
lenses.
