IBIS should not use much battery. Highest usage of battery is by EVFs, followed by LCDs.

What i meant was between the features if i have to opt, I’d go with bigger battery over ibis, i wasnt implying ibis will eat up battery

I don't think that's Leica's fault - hardware is the size that it is.  The M camera footprint is what it is. 

As technology advances, hardware becomes smaller and smaller.  Cell phones used to be the size of a brick; now they are about 1/10th that size.  One day, the IBIS hardware may well become miniaturized to the point that it will fit into the M camera footprint.

Until that day, I still manage to make some nice images with my M-P 240 and M10M every now and then - even without IBIS.

Manufactures don’t wait around for IBIS tech to miniaturize itself, they do it themselves. Case in point is Fujifilm going from the gigantic GFX 100 IBIS to the IBIS that fits in the 100S. They did that by engineering a smaller IBIS unit that actually stabilized the sensor better than the larger one.
