Like others have said, the 16/1.4 is way too heavy and bulky for me to carry, especially since it's a focal length I don't use particularly often. I can manage with the wide end of the 15-45 kit lens.

I wish lens makers would stop trying to out-do each other with large, heavy f1.4 efforts and make more pancakes and small, light f2 or f2.8 primes.

And my desire is just the opposite. I’d love a fast 22mm f/1.4 to pair with my 16, 32, and 56mm f/1.4 lenses! These guys really kick butt!

Look at the Samyang 21mm f/1.4 - much better IQ than the EF-M 22mm but expensive, 3x the size and non-existent AF, Tv auto exposure & EXIF data. It's better for astro than the RF 35mm on full-frame and, with the hood reversed, a similar size.

But yes, I want tiny APS-C lenses as a complement to my full-frame outfit.  The need for speed with the crop formats is overrated.
