Gee I thought it was cheap. Compare it to Fuji XT2 which is about US$1800 or Sony A6300 which is around US$1300.

M5 could not compete with T2 for many reasons (pro-build and 4K video to be the most obvious). Its peer form Fuji would be T20 when it get 24Mp sensor from T2 early next year. Until then T10 will try to defend Fuji mid-range territory through more attractive pricing and much wider choice&quality of X-lenses.

6300 is only $100 more than M5 according to Firstimps here. And it has a proof in 4k video, higher fps and more mature AF system. So more direct competitor to M5 is a6000 which is well under $1000 now I guess.

Finall Canon is entering the mirrorless market with a competitive product. It will be interesting if the AF can match XT2 or A6300 which are now quite sophisticated.

Let's wait&see. I really doubt cause Fuji&Sony needed a couple of iterations to reach the level of T2/a6300. But even getting closer to them would be a great leap for Canon
