I can see there is 50 mΩ in LIN bus with LIN ICs. But I don't understand why it is there.

Does anyone have an idea why I see 50 mΩ in the bus line?

This is almost certainly used as a current sensing resistor for LIN's Bus Shunt Method (BSM) of node position detection (NPD), also known as autoaddressing. This method allows a device to detect if it is the last device on the bus, even if it doesn't have an address assigned to it already.
