Same reason iPhones is 4gb of 6gb of RAM while flagship android uses 12 and 16gb.
That being said. 256gb SSD and 8gb or ram WILL limit you with large photo or video tasks. So even though it's a pro. Know it has limits.
You are gaining, fans for cooling vs fan less on the Air, slightly better performance on long running multithreaded tasks.
Be aware the 256 model has only one SSD chip not 2 like the 512gb and above so your SSD speed will be in the 2500Mbs vs 5000ish Mbs. for everyday tasks even light photo and video editing work it will work fine.

You are gaining the 14" screen vs 13. A micro LED screen vs ips 120hz refresh vs 60, two more thunder bolt ports, much better speakers, fans for cooling vs fan less on the Air, so it's worth the upgrade for just the screen alone. And more ports.

But this line killed the deal for me
"256gb SSD and 8gb or ram WILL limit you with large photo or video tasks."
Please decide if it's good or bad lol

"totally different things"
This is like buying a base model vehicle and acting like it should have driver assist functionality.
The common person buying this likely don't even know the specs - they just know it's a cheap way to own a mac.

Apple Silicon is amazing, honestly. Damn thing never even gets hot. You could practically fry an egg on Intel MacBooks.
