From a business perspective it makes sense to consolidate down to a single lens mount. Why have duplicate everything, it creates additional cost for the business. As an example - the car companies routinely share chassis, engines, electronics, etc....  between models. They avoid creating new anything.

From Canon's perspective whats involved with having duplicate mounts - do you have separate engineering teams or is it the same people doing both mounts? How much resources do have to devote to maintaining separate lines.

I tend to think its the former (separate teams) because the EOS M's from the beginning seem more related to Powershots than DSLRs. Its very obvious the Powershot team had their hand in the design and development.

Ask the following questions:

What does the EOS M line offer over EF/EFS other than size?

What does the EOS M line offer over the RF other than size?

The EOS M diehards will be enraged and will talk about best value, image quality, etc.... The question is not whats good for the consumer, but rather whats good for Canon.
