You obviously missed my post just below. You shouldn't be comparing L and non-L zooms at all since they are different classes of lens. Both EF and RF have L and non-L versions. Compare the appropriate lenses. No one who cares about image quality would trade an f4 L zoom for an f7.1 non-L zoom. IMHO
Although I agree L zooms and non-L are in different classes, non L RF glass is pretty good. RF 24-105 f/4-7.1, 24-240, 35/1.8 and now 50/1.8 all look decent.
But you're right, no-one who cares about quality would (trade). The L glass is in another league. It's in another league in cost and size too though.
However, comparing non-L RF vs EF-M is fair game. And with the exception of perhaps the 32mm, the former arguably "wins".
The RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 lens for example represents an EF-M 15-65mm f/2.5-4.5. That's a lens I'd buy for the M in a heartbeat, and could sway me back to an M as having a zoom that fast and wide on the wide end, is to be respected. Fuji and Sony crop don't go faster than f/2.8 on their crop native zoom lenses, for example.
This is approximately the size and weight of a RF 24-105 f/4-7.1, for example (since camera size doesn't have that lens, a 50mm f/1.4 adapted, is almost exact...)

We could have a heated debate here, but I'm simply saying, they can be compared, but yes, L glass is in another league, but non L RF glass, can be compared to EF-M or other crop offerings as it nears equivalence of many of them.
