1. Prime lenses from 50mm and up on APS-C are not much smaller than full frame lenses with adaptor. Maybe it is more practical to use full frame lenses for those focal distances.

A native 50mm lens could easily be 10mm shorter than the EF lens on an adapter.  That is a significant difference.   Lens adapters are a pain.  They should be the exception, not the rule

2. Prime lenses 40mm and below do not produce good bokeh even wide open. What is point in them? For low light? But zoom lenses are well stabilized and can be used in low light quite well.

Bokeh is a function of the lens designers priorities and has no relation to focal length.  IS only counteracts your motions.  It does nothing to stop the motions of your subject.  IS also tends to negatively impact bokeh.

I wanted prime lenses for M very much when I purchased my first M. But now I am not so sure that they make any sense.

3. Existing Zoom lenses cover all my needs when I need to zoom.

I did vote in your poll, but if you had option "I don't need more new lenses for M", I would vote for it.

While that is a perfectly reasonable opinion, I am pretty sure it would represent a very small minority.
