All the talks about prime lens this, bright lens that,  don’t make any sense. The M version has a longer equivalent focal length and transmits less total light and all of a sudden it doesn’t need IS? And what if god forbids I want to use it at f1.8?

I think the cost is the only reason. Probably the think tank at Canon set a price ceiling of $500 which resulted in all the design decision.
