A cynic would say it's because SCS hadn't yet seen what The Cubicle would list the clock for.

Never mind the clock. I'm still waiting for GAN's pyraminx. What's the hold up, GAN???

I'm also wondering if GAN will ever release a 5x5 and an updated 4x4 (460 XS, pls!)

There was a picture of a 4x4 with Gan X style adjustable magnets a while back if I remember correctly, but that was all we ever saw of it, leading me to believe that it was either fake or gan stopped pursuing it. There was also a leak a while back where a promo for the gan cube box said "fits your Gan 4x4 and Gan 5x5" or something of that nature, and again, that was all we ever heard.

Gan makes ok but overpriced 3x3s, and their 4x4 was a flop. Moyu, Yuxin, Qiyi, and YJ are making fantastic big cube hardware, why bother with Gan?

Well, I really like GAN's 2x2, 3x3, and megaminx. I have no reason to believe I wouldn't also like their 4x4 (and a 5x5) if they made it lighter and with matte plastic just like their other puzzles.

Different strokes for different folks I guess...

Same, I don’t get why it gets so much hate.
Ok, GAN cubes are good, but their marketing strategy is terrible, everyone agrees with that.

GAN's marketing strategy isn't even on my radar. I tried one of their puzzles, liked it, and decided to try a few more. Liked them too, except for the 460 M which is clearly an outdated GAN design compared to their other more recent products. That's why I'd like to see it updated.
And just to be clear, I also have the recent line of MeiLongs (2M, 3M, 4M, and 5M). They are all really good, though I kinda wish the magnets on the 5x5 were a little stronger. Maybe they'll feel stronger once it is broken in a bit more and the lube isn't quite so gummy. I will say, however, that the 4M is vastly superior to the 460 M, so it's not like I have blind devotion to GAN puzzles.

The MGC 7x7 is 67.5mm in size and weighs 196 grams

Newest packaging box?
Looks like the same box to me...
The other magnetic 7s, for some context:
Spark M: 67 mm, 197 g
MGC 7: 67.5 mm, 196 g
Hays 7 M: 68 mm, 204 g
YLM 7 M: 68 mm, 206 g
Aofu GTS M: 68.5 mm, 234 g
Yufu v2 M: 69 mm, 210 g
And some non-magnetic ones:
Meilong 7: 66 mm, 163 g
Wuji: 69 mm, 204 g
SS Tank: 70 mm, 230 g
So, just a hair larger than the Spark and about the same weight.

And nothing cynical about having competitive pricing. It helps cubers.No need to be cynical, they confirmed it themselves.
I have a little magic m which is very matte and surprisingly it has not slipped out of my hands or anything. However that may change under pressure.
Only video I could find about Qiyi clock rn
