why wouldn't you just use the 22/2 .. which is ideally suited for that .. 28mm is a bit wide for street shooting IMO.. 35 is better for most use cases.
Well because I like the 28mm world I guess. Perfect for street. I have a Ricoh GR, a very nice street camera. If I want something closer I use my 6D with the 40mm pancake..
But to me, it would be nice that Canon actually made some decent primes to the M series. Look at all the great Fujifilm lenses. A fantastic and very serious line of primes. Can be used both by pros and amateurs. To a fair price. Both Canon and Nikon could learn from Fuji in that matter. But it seems that Canon and Nikon has put all their money into the pro sport and wedding DSLR shooters. Thats fine, but the world changes. I see pro photojournalist and even wedding photographers everywhere switching to Fuji. Lighter, and more durable.... I could see the M series to be a new beginning. But maybe Canon don't see that
I dont care for Fuji lens linup at all. While most are optically good, they are way too expensive for crop-only lenses. To me Canon EF-M lineup is right on the money. Small, optically decent to excellent [e.g. EF-M 22/2.0 and 28/3.5 - which you seem to ignore] and very affordable. Only EF-M lens missing is a compact, good, light tele, e.g. EF-M 85/2.4 IS STM.
As opposed to Fuji, Canon also has fine EF glass like EF 40/2.8 STM and EF 50/1.8 STM ... optically excellent, very compact, dirt cheap and perfectly functional on EOS M cameras. 8)
