Just because it's a Leica copy doesn't mean it's bad, either. Canon and Nikon both got their start blatantly copying not only German camera bodies (Leica and Contax respectively), but also lens formulas. It's been done forever, and the Canons/Nikons are sometimes arguably better than their contemporary German competitors. It took Leica a couple years to catch up to the Nikon SP, for example, and by then Contax was pretty much toast.
Hell, what company didn't start with Leica copy screwmount RFs? Minolta did too, and I think Pentax might've.
Also, there aren't many non-Leica M mount cameras - there's the modern Cosina Voightlander Bessa R series, the slightly less modern Konica Hexar RF, the Minolta CLE, and the Shanghai Red Flag somethingorother.
