When they make a G17 size Gluger and I can get it for $400, I’ll buy one. I used to have half a dozen or so Glocks and I like shooting GSSF Matches.
Then I bought the gateway Sig back in 2018 the P365 and it’s reversed, I only have a G34.5 for competition but eight Sig pistols now. Bought a used P224 with .40 S&W and .357 Sig barrels just last weekend. The FCU in the P320 and P365 really make sense verses the serialize frame Glock is sticking with. Heck guess I have a ninth Sig, I have a new P365 FCU I bought at a great price and I’m thinking of an AXG grip module and a Fuse slide.
Anywho, I think Ruger will be fine with the RXG, there’s a lot to like about it.

I was married to one man of German extraction. He passed away fairly young, and this husband (of 43 years now) is of German extraction. You are asking why Gaston Glock, an Austrian, (they can out-German the Germans) would not make changes that seem reasonable to others? Germans (Austrians, etc.) can be stubborn. Mine often replies "Because that is the way I WANT TO DO IT!!!!"
That's my take on it. 👵

Yeah totally the Glock grip angle is a YUGE PROBLEM. I mean, how can somebody be expected to shoot these dumb things. Kidding.

“Magpul will eventually offer EHGs in other colors including black, flat dark earth, and olive drab, as well as 12-round subcompact and 17-round full-size grips for the RXM. According to a Magpul rep, MSRP for each grip module will be around the $40 mark.”

Yawn.
I’ll stick with the OG of tactical tupperware. Never understood the fracas about the dreaded Glock angle grip. I shoot my Glocks, Beretta 92, 1911s, Sig P22x, S&W wheelguns, and Taurus snubbie the same way: sights on target. My brain and muscle memory combo knows how to hold and aim different handguns.

Most of these products are the result of a combination of the marketing teams and the product engineering and manufacturing engineering teams working together to satisfy a company's profit motive - and (incidentally) the stockholders or owners.
A cold look at the marketplace and Ruger's recent experience with their own proprietary design approaches as well as what has been coming in from low labor cost overseas factories in Turkey, Philippines, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, and Croatia probably caused someone to ask the simple question, what exactly are they doing reinventing the wheel each time they provide a new unique design. Did it differentiate Ruger the way SIG's P series innovated for SIG? Or HK's approach did for the unique European market HK pistols has occupied at the high end for police and military agencies?
Think about the costs of manufacture, support and long term unit production of this new product. What Glock patents are still in a protected or proprietary status, and costing Ruger royalties? The clone business at PSA/Dagger has already been established. Quality control and manufacturing cost can certainly be contained and managed using modern numerically controlled machine tooling and metal or polymer injection methods.
The teams at Ruger are world class. The marketplace is saturated with product that has been driving the price of an individual pistol down in the last years. Sales have softened some over the past couple years (if NICS is evidence).

Millions of potential customers just haven't figured out that Glock isn't the problem. They are
I used to feel this way. Then I just shot Glocks more. A lot more. Now it doesn't matter at all. Just my experience.

I would be curious to know the percentage of owners that will keep these $350-400 guns stock. The takeoff slides will not have much value to offset buying a new cool Glock slide, and once all the fancy aftermarket lowers hit the market there will be $1000 custom specimans floating around like the 365 family.

Whew... thanks for clearing that up.Millions of potential customers just haven't figured out that Glock isn't the problem. They are

Millions of competent shooters worldwide don't actually know what they need- you and GLOCK do.
Who'da thunk it'd be so simple- just shoot GLOCKs more...

It is a simple solution. You shoot a Glock more, you get better with a Glock. Amazingly enough this practice works with all pistols, not just Glock. Who knew?! 😛

Absolutely- lots of dedicated training can offset even the most egregious of intrinsic flaws found in the tools available to us.
But many of us simply choose to shoot smarter- we pick less imperfect tools...

That's like suggesting that someone marry an ugly fat chick, and just learn to love her when there are plenty of better looking women that you're actually attracted to that are available.
In this golden age of seemingly endless affordable and reliable handgun options, there's no reason to ever have to "learn" to like something. You can just buy a gun you like and shoot well first time around.

Asked on another forum for the Grip Circumference of the RXM, and was able to "size" it against the data I've been collecting for a couple years now.
The new Ruger fits right into the "Medium" size bracket:
