M5: why 15-45 instead of 18-55 as kit?

I assumed much of it had to do with timing.  There was no 15-45mm when the M3 was launched (to the world), so the 18-55mm became the default kit.  A consistent theme for EF-M lens introductions since then has been compactness, so it's no surprise kits have been put together for the M10 and M5 with the newer, more compact 15-45mm.
