Easier than ever to workaround. If you don't want to at this price plenty of less efficient or upgrade paths.

There are work arounds but you lose speed when using an external ssd compared to internal one. Plus external ones aren't as reliable.

Aren't reliable? Why? For the extra $200  is asking, you can have a very fast SSD in a very fast Thunderbolt case.

Like 10x faster than a SATA III ssd, you probably need to update your thinking on the matter. Like there's nothing you can do that makes an ok Thunderbolt 4 NVME drive seem mediocre or slow.

Enterprises prefer that the internal drive of a desktop computer only store the OS and applications. Makes it easier to swap out the hardware without the user losing data.

Incorrect. I have a 2TB Samsung 990 Plus connected with TB4 via OWC external enclosure and this external drive reads and writes FASTER than the 256GB internal drive in my Mac Mini M4.

Wondering if the M4 Pro 12 Core/24GB/512GB/16-Corr GPU worth at $1099.99/-? Or this gets you into Mac Studio category?

If you can get that model at that price I'd say that's pretty good.
