Both Canon M50 II and Leica M Edition 60 have 24.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon M50 II's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) and Leica M Edition 60's sensor is Full frame (36 x 24 mm ).
Since Leica M Edition 60's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Canon M50 II.
Below you can see the M50 Mark II and M Edition 60 sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Leica M Edition 60 has a 2.6x Larger sensor area than Canon M50 II. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon M50 II
or the
Leica M Edition 60 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(APS-C versus Full frame),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
