I am not a hard stop expert but I can share that my Zeiss lens manuals all say they don't provide an infinity hard stop to allow for the effects of temperature change.

That gives a plausible explanation as to why the newly designed Loxias never made it to the M mount. Temperature affects the behavior of ED/APD elements. The archaic RF focusing aid will not work well with the state of the art lenses with many APD elements.
I feel you're grasping for reasons to disparage the M, even if you own some of it. My feeling is Zeiss has ignored the still image ILC market for some time. What was their last release? The 100/1.4 Otus? TBH I couldn't care given how Cosina has aptly filled the void. I enjoyed using Zeiss's ZM lenses on the M system, but have moved on...
