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.

Is there a significant difference between the M2 vs M2 pro? Is there a $250 difference between this and the MBA M2 op was originally getting?

MacBook Pro 14" with the M2 Pro is significantly better than the MacBook Pro 13" with M2. The power and efficiency cores are faster and so is the graphics core. Then there's the base spec, a 14" will have 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
As for comparison to the M2 MacBook Air vs M2 MacBook Pro 13". There's not a $250 difference. When the M2 is on sale, you can get it for $899. Even if the Air is more expensive, I still recommend the Air over the 13" Pro. The only benefit of the 13" Pro is that it has cpu fans and on these base non-Pro chipset, it's not noticeable in performance. The M2 Air is significantly better than the 13" Pro in every aspect, screen, weight, size, usability, and design.
I would not buy a 13" Pro at any price. Get the M2 Air, factory refurbished or new.

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.

Your comment leads me to the conclusion that you're a 'PC Master Race' believer.

8 gb is a bottleneck. Maybe it's one people are willing to accept. But Any claims otherwise are just apple "magic marketing." Unless Apple figures out how to store files in half the size, 8 gb is 8 gb.
