That said it's a shame of course Canon is killing M. Canon isn't killing it because it's not capable. Canon kills M because it's too capable for it's price. Without the killing of M the R10 and that odd 18-45mm couldn't simply survive. Canon wants you to pay more for getting less, and this is how they do it.

Canon wants one lens mount, and high margins:

"As for operating profit, an increase in the proportion of sales attributable to
the highly profitable EOS R system of mirrorless cameras and lenses, increased
profitability to 18.0%."
