The most important feature of the M5 was the layout. No other Canon camera ever had so many control wheels. The later M50 and M6II are a terrible fallback against the M5.

The tragedy of the M5: Canon designed a perfect small mirrorless camera with a great handling, but forgot about the sensor read out speed and processor power. The designers simply didn't had the required horse power available to make it work like it should. You could argue the M5 came too early. And now the right sensor and processor are available Canon is refusing thus far to throw it in a nice M5 style body with the superior lay out.

It's sad.
