I've never owned a Sigma lens, so I am succeptible to rumors...

I have heard and read that Sigma QC is worse that Canon's. I have heard 
related experiences where several lenses were exchanged to get a good one. 
Further, They have a reputation of being less robust in construction than 
their two competetors.

Although Cosina had now so good a reputation when making the OM-2000, their 
subsequent entry into RF cameras and lenses has given them a reputation for 
quality that exceeds the price. I handled a R2 in a store, and was 
particularly impressed with the VF, and the camera in general seemed well 
made in comparison to the low price.

I would feel better if it were Tamron making the lenses, but Sigma seems to 
be at the head of the line for OEM these days.
