The gap is no gap. There are the 77D, 80D, and 7DmkII. And in the next future we will see updated versions with the EF-s mount. I think in this price range the majority of customers are o.k. with dslr's .

I agree that we will likely see another round of DSLRs in this segment, but it will likely only be one more round.  Based on Nokishita rumors, it looks like the 7D III is coming soon.  That puts the 7D series on a 4-5 year life cycle.  A 7D IV DSLR in 2025 does not seem very likely.  The 77D and 80D iterate a bit faster, so there may be a second round of those cameras.  Canon will probably still be producing DSLRs in 2025, but the product line will have contracted quite a bit.

If they want mirrorless they buy a M50 and be perfectly happy with that, or a future M model with both the strengths of the M5 and M50.

Telling a 7D user to be happy with the M50/M5 is like telling them to be happy with the SL2
