I've expressed the same sentiments before. I do have some Glocks and a mini Kahr 40pm.
Sig P365 or Glock 26?

G27 and then G26 was my duty backup for years. Nothing wrong with either one. Two years ago I borrowed and then bought a P365. It has been my duty backup since that time. I now have a P365XL as well. My first P365 has somewhere over 2000 rounds through it. I changed the recoil spring somewhere between 1000 and 1250. Not because of any failures. I don't wait for my brakes to fail before I replace them, same with recoil springs. I have done nothing else to it. No titanium firing pins, no super cool 5 color cerakote paint and stipple, no futuristic hand carved slides. Just the out of box gun with one recoil spring change. Occasionally I get my stupid thumb in the way and keep the slide from locking open on an empty mag when shooting rapidly to empty. Other than that I have had zero issues.
I shoot it better than the 26. I hit with it as well as I do with the G19. I could never say that about the 26. It is easier to carry than the 26 and mine has been no less reliable than the 26.
I still have a 27 because it was my fathers before he passed, my personal 27 and 26 are both gone.
I would do my best to shoot both before you buy either, and then buy the one that works for you.

I've owned both a G26 and a 365 and still own the SIG. While I certainly admire it as an engineering exercise to fit that much pistol in a package that size, I never warmed to it. I felt the trigger was light to the point of being unsuitable for carry. I far perfer a Walther PPS and was an early adopter of that platform.
Just my $0.02. Have the 365 and a Gen 4 17. I can shoot rings around my 17 with the Sig. The only other pistol I own is a 1911 5" target model and I can barely outshoot the Sig with that. In like to refer to it as the PPKs we wish they had built. Better sights, better trigger, better ergos, larger capacity in a better performing caliber, etc. etc.
