Umm, they did for past D models, so pretty sure it's not that big of a deal for them to do so. Maybe in the far past, but now with modern CAD and casting most likely a matter of just plugging in some new software and letting it rip. As well, the D still has the small rangefinder window so they would have to recast it anyway for an EVF version. 

Did they? Which top plates were designed just for the D and not used on any other models?

I just completed a Leica online survey, with the main focus on in-camera image processing.  It wasn't specific to the M but I wonder whether Leica is gauging reaction before introducing something in the next M or with firmware updates?  The processing options were:

(1) Ultra Dynamic Range;

(2) Living Memories rather than static photos.  Similar to what is currently available on the iPhone;

(3) Individual Looks.  Maybe a further development of Leica Looks;

(4) Night Mode;

(5) Super Resolution Mode.

My overall response was 'no thanks' just keep the camera simple.  Given the current direction of travel, Leica Lux etc, I do hope the software department is not taking over from the camera department.

Christ... I hope not.

That was exactly my main thought and worry. It started after Leica Lux was one of the few "innovation" they mentioned in their 100 Year statement, and got worse after this survey.

I hope that the M-EVF has a design aesthetic that improves upon the Q and new X100RF. I think both are far less attractive then the M with rangefinder window.

An EVF camera does not need a rangefinder window nor a viewfinder one and it is hard to imagine any alternative use for a fake one.

There is that. Creative thought! 

Or a huge white balance sensor. When you see such a sensor, all questions about the correctness/incorrectness of the white balance will be removed by themselves😜
