No one here knows. We don't know. Adobe never tells us when.
When Adobe gets all the work completed to successfully use raw photos from this camera, they will release a new version of the software. Then we will all find out at the same time.
Until Adobe release supported versions of Lightroom-Classic and ACR, you will need to edit with Canon's DPP App (Digital Photo Professional), and export to TIF or JPG. DPP lists the R5c as supported.

No. Nobody can tell you this because they either do not know, or they are not allowed to tell you because of their NDA. I understand your impatience, but you will simply have to wait.
No one can say (except for some Adobe employees, who are not allowed to say). You should check the list here each time Adobe updates the Lighroom Classic software.

Apparently they prefer making their customers angry because they know people will not switch software anyways.
I'm glad you started that with the word "apparently".
Getting the actual facts, like querying the Adobe LR and ACR team or a large group of the user base would be more work indeed.
So people that bought the camera think it is fine to not be able to use their payed subscription software?
Sure. That seems reasonable.

The software didn't stop working.
The software will still work on images from your camera too. This absurd line of arguments that you can't use your camera or the software you subscribe to is, well abusrd.
You started your Adobe subscription the day you also received your camera, yes or no?
You checked if your Adobe subscription worked with your shiny new camera before you placed your order, yes or no?
You cannot use Sony's software until raw support while not knowing that purchasing a new camera might not have software support for the raws, yes or no? That is all spelled out below, long before you paid for that camera.

I don't know what people that bought the camera think; I don't assume. Perhaps they were not thinking very well about this issue, which again is decades old.
Do you think this back and forth is going to get you camera supported any faster? The answer is a resounding no.

It's a bit like buying a new electric car without checking that there's somewhere to charge it. At least local authorities and businesses can anticipate demand and start installing charging points, and new cars have standard connections etc. But camera makers change their raw formats with each model and fail to offer a generic raw option like DNG, so Adobe can't do anything until the day the camera is released. Without wanting to "victim blame" - camera makers don't warn customers of the problem - who would buy an electric car if they knew they couldn't charge it?
