Mine does not have too bad of firmware.

My M6II has never locked up. I have never even needed to take the battery out and put it back in to get it working or anything like that.

Has yours ?

Never.  The only body that’s ever locked up on me is my R5.  Fortunately I’ve discovered that it doesn’t do that when the electronic shutter is enabled (my primary shooting mode).  🙂

I wish all your firmware wishes come true.

IMHO about all we can realistically hope for on the upper end is an M6iii “firmware update”  like the M50ii got.  Personally I’d buy one in a heartbeat!

Anything more than that IMO would unfortunately be considered by Canon to be a threat to their (lucrative) R System sales.  And we all know that they want to sell as many (RF) lenses as they possibly can!  This being made clear by their recent announcement of the R7/R10.

Personally (for my own uses at least), the M System is still completely viable and remains a great choice for all those looking for the smallest, lightest, and funnest option available.  I’ll be using my M6ii for as long as it stays in one piece, which I’m hoping will be a long long time.

My thanks to all who have contributed here, and thank you all for keeping this thread civil.  One thing I’ve always loved about the M System, is THIS FORUM!  😁

Happy shooting!
