Such a compact system with compact lenses - Now being replaced by bulkier RF cameras and bigger RF-S lenses.

I own the R5 and many bigger EF/RF lenses, but my M6 II has always been a joy to carry out for casual photography and videography.

I hope Canon could could produce something as compact and capable as the M system in their RF APS-C lineup, but I'm doubtful due to the physical limitations of the mount size.

Designing then building small sharp at f/1.4 auto focus lenses was too much for Canon ?

They quit trying after the 32mm ?

And people complain about the lack of a small fast zoom lens ?

Canon had QC troubles with the small 15-45 ?

Maybe they can not design and build a small fast zoom that could make a profit ?

I understand that you're trying to build some controversy here, but seriously? 

Canon's #1 operating principle has always been to protect their higher end sales.  Period.  It's never been a question of ability, it's always been about will.
