I was wondering if and when Sony might offer CFexpress 4.0 **Note the VPG 400 certificaiton

About 50% more expensive than equivalent competitors... very on-brand for Sony
When comparing, make sure to note the other brands VPG200 prices vs Sony ( or other brands) VPG400 prices. Not that many need VPG400 over VPG200 and VPG certification is just one feature to consider, but there does seem to be a consistent price difference across the brands for VPG200 vs VPG400.

Sony's current 2.0 cards are VPG400 rated and still cost considerably more than the 2.0 competition. Just a quick search on B&H shows the vast array of much cheaper VPG400 cards currently available, both 2.0 and 4.0 (with perhaps the cheapest name brand option being Lexar's Gold 2.0 card at $170 for 320GB):

There's no getting around the fact that Sony's memory cards (and readers) are very overpriced.
I could have been more clear in my comment. My point is when comparing specifically CFexpress Type A, 4.0 prices note/compare the price differences between CFe 4.0 VPG 200 vs VPG 400 regardless of the brand.
No argument, the Sony brand itself is typically more expensive and in this case Sony Brand + New Product pricing. Many of the competitors already in this market offering CFe Type A 4.0 are less expensive and already going through special offer/discount cycles for some time now.

A1III
Maybe....wouldn't even put money down on that given Sony's recent track record.
Absolutely ridiculous that A1 ii could not take advantage of these cards. I swear sony will release the next camera, and that's going to be an entry level camera, and it can take advantage of these cards and the flagship A1 ii (that cost 7k now), cannot. Simply because it's released a few months earlier

Yeah...I wouldn't put it past them to add 4.0 support to the A7V...a camera that would have no use for it. They've certainly done similar in the past introducing new features in the lowest end of the line shortly after releasing a flagship.

I assume the heat generated in-camera will throttle any card to its minimum sustained write speeds (the VPG rating), and CFe Type A cards are already at a disadvantage to Type B cards in this respect due to their diminutive size (and the smaller size of Sony bodies doesn't help, either). So then the question becomes what advantage would "supporting" 4.0 speeds in-camera actually have? Surely a case of the need for speed running smack into the immovable laws of physics.

Are there any photo cameras ( any brand) that currently support CFexpress 4.0 technology, Type A or B at this point?

This is probably true. But I think for stills shooting where you are just doing shorter bursts we could get some buffer clearing advantage with the faster write speeds. It is only a few seconds of shooting to fill a A1II or A9III buffer so I don't think the heat will really throttle it.
Currently the A1II can maintain 17FPS after a full buffer but with a faster card maybe it could come closer to maintaining 30FPS.

No.
I haven't heard/read even a hint of a rumor of any camera brand working to adopt in-camera CFexpress 4.0 capabilities. I'm guessing new hardware will be needed to support CFe 4.0 and manage both the increased power consumption and heat.
