"potent" in this context means: had Canon launched the M5 along the 80D 2 years ago [in addition to M3] and priced it somewhat more sensibly rather than "premium", they would have sold an awful lot more EOS bodies and EF-M lenses by now.
In 2017 EOS M5 is still "underpowered" and definitely not a what I would consider a "potent" camera.
As far as EF-M lenses are concerned, the line-up is perfectly fine [except that missing 85/2.4 IS STM of course]. Only some review sites like dpr and a tiny minority are asking for all sorts of "fast primes" for a compact crop-sensor system. I happily prefer EF-M 6 lens lineup over all the Sony E-lenses combined and over all those crazy expensive Fuji lenses with their stupid manual aperture rings. Not surprised, that market likes EF-M glass: compact, optically decent to excellent and dirt cheap! Wonderful! 8)
