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.

My m32 f1.4 and my m11-22 and my m6II were "barely an afterthought"? The only afterthought with this is that they gave us way too much for the $ and will be sure not to do that again with RF-s

you have never used this great gear

Never used this gear? Too funny. I imported the 11-22mm from Henry's in Canada way back in 2013 because Canon did not bother to sell it in the USA until late in 2015.

I'm referring to modern day combos - not single components, When I read all of your early adoption negative posts, and move to Fuji, it occurs to me that you have never experienced the modern-day m or R combos:

32.5 mpxl m6II with RAW and DXO PL5/6 with the great 32 F1.4, 11-22, and 100L.

RP with my great RF 24-105 F4 L and RF 85 F2 IS

I could go back and dis all the components of my old stuff or even the cameras themselves, but for me it is about going forward with the modern-day combos with the strategy of small, powerful, value propositions

for me, M did not make sense to buy prior to the m6II or M32 F1.4

for me, iphone didn't make great photos/videos for me until Apple 13/14

So I bought into M6II and Apple 13 for my photography that I'm now using at events (the Apple 13 for video clips).

to each there own, but manufacturers need to take seriously small, powerful, value proposition or they'll be left in the dust

You are 100% right! A person just can’t fully appreciate the incredible capabilities of this system until it’s been in-hand, successfully shooting all manner of subjects like folks here have been doing. I wish everybody could experience the M6ii like we have. Any doubters would certainly be singing its praises!

R2

his $2500 X-T3 with FUJIFILM XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Lens isn't a bad setup for what he does

It cost me even less than that.

but for me I'd rather invest today in R6II + one of the RF 70-200's and use that continual AF

At a minimum, you are at $4000 for just the R6 II and RF 70-200mm f/4.0. Basically double the price for a lateral move in image quality.

$1500 differential for better IQ - see below

Studio shot comparison: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

and for a faster, more accurate, more capable sports/action camera

The total jumps to $5100 to get the benefits of f/2.8 on full frame. An extra $3000 in cost for only a one stop improvement? No thanks, especially for a telescoping zoom at that price. If I went down the full frame rabbit hole, it would be to Sony for their new 70-200mm f/2.8 that is a proper internal zoom and even lighter than the RF version.

the RF 70-200 F4L at 695 grams, to go along with my similar sized RF 24-105 F4L sounds to me like awesome combos - not rabbit holes
