I'm keeping the M100, selling my M50 with some accessories, and buying a 90D.

This has nothing to do with the future of either crop system. It's what I need right now.

What dictates my choices is the direction of my photography. That's the real question you need to answer. Think 3-5 years into the future and ask yourself what will I be doing. If you're just walking around taking pictures then any system will work.

BTW I still have FD lenses and a film camera.

In ten years will be only a couple of aps-c cameras and maybe also a couple m43. The rest will be only a few expensive full frame and a couple super expensive medium format. Everybody will use their smartphones with some kind of external lenses. The hobbyists will be limited on buy cheap only to "play" with composition but with quality results similar to their smartphones, or going super expensive for those who can still afford it.

Enjoy when you can one more hobby that will change forever.

What you're describing equipment-wise is basically "back to the 1970s" if you substitute phones for Instamatics.  The Olympus Trip 35 was about the price of an M200 and the standard joke was the film with a Christmas tree at either end and a summer holiday in the middle.  The difference is the sheer number of pictures we all make and the running costs.
