Why would you not buy EOS M5?

Because it's Canon...

I don't mean that in a bad way.  I would not buy the M5 because I do not own any Canon lenses.  I own Nikon, some Sony Alpha and a lot of MFT, but no Canon.  So to use the M5 I would have to buy into a new system, which makes no sense for me.

The M5 is, no doubt, very attractive to Canon owners, as it should be.  The only thing I see missing from the camera (for me) is 4K video.  I say Canon has finally brought out a decent mirrorless entry, so well done.  Nikon, the ball is now in your court.
