Will Sigma ever release the 18-50mm F2.8 zoom for EF-M?

Re: Yes, but perhaps no. Your guess is as good as mine.

Does the Canon ban on 3rd party AF lenses for the RF mount apply to EF-M as well?
I would love to have this bright sharp standard zoom for my carry-around camera, and I really (really) don't want a SONY alpha.

The only other option would be a Leica APS-C camera in L mount, and they're not as well specced as M cameras in many ways (but nice in others).

Should I just be content with my 18-55 zoom with its competent IS and shoot higher ISO as the light falls?

The answer is no and that's not a guess. That Sigma lens needs some heavy distortion correction, for the M system this needs to be in camera distortion correction and Canon is not going to support this. So even if M wasn't a sunsetting mount it wouldn't happen.

The Sigma 56mm EF-M lens shows up in the menu on my M6II:

Well, I guess I stand corrected seeing this.

Did you upload a profile for this lens to your M6II?

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
