If you want, you can permanently repeat "M is dead". However, this does not make any other system better.

Saying "M is alive" won't force Canon to release new M models.

I think it will officially be over if/when Canon releases an APS-C R that's priced like the M50.

I just wonder why some forists obviously think, that there is need for repeating (permanently) that "M is dead".

"If" Canon releases an APS-C R that's priced like the M50, what should be the reason for M-users to follow that path? For me, there would be none.
To my mind, Canon won't release RF-s lenses which are comparable to 11-22mm, 32mm, Sigma 16mm and 56mm. Why should they? They want you to upgrade to R and buy expensive R-lenses. So, there is no interest for Canon to offer competitive, small, inexpensive and even bright RF-s lenses.

For me, the M-system fits perfectly to my needs.

I just wonder why some forists obviously think, that there is need for repeating (permanently) that RF-S must directly duplicate EF-M.

The EF-M mount has never been a priority for Canon. In turn, converting EF-M system owners to RF-S or RF is also not a priority for Canon. Even with the broad success of the M50 and M50 II, the system has barely been an afterthought for Canon.

I don't know why some forists think, that RF-S must directly duplicate EF-M.

But what is the entry level for mirrorless in case of Canon? Actually, it is still EF-M. If EF-M vanishes, it must be replaced by RF-S. So that's the connection in between.

But concerning the "duplication" I would see it in a different way. To my mind, RF-S cannot duplicate EF-M. Because the main properties of EF-M, which are
- small size and weight,
- perfect system for walking and traveling,
- "large" sensor in a small body,
- good to very good IQ,
- pleasing color rendering,
- affordability,
cannot be found altogether in the R-system.

So, EF-M is a "unique stand-alone-system", which can coexist beside RF-S, but which cannot be duplicated or replaced by RF-S.
