Because they are the same price. One is a Pro laptop and the other an Air laptop. There's more to it than the two you referenced.MacBook Pro - MiniLED display with 120hz, true WiFi 7.0, more ports, HDMI, SDXC card reader, way better speakers, will not thermal throttle as quick since it has a fan for better performance.

That's the same price for the 14" MacBook Pro M5 16gb/1TB, $1550. I rather get the Pro instead at this price point.

You are correct in principle. However, it's ironic that the MacBook Air has WiFi 7 where as the MacBook Pro with the basic M5 chip does not (it has WiFi 6e).
With the MacBook Air you get:
1) a larger screen 2) more memory 3) lighter weight and thinner 4) WiFi 7 5) Bluetooth 6 (vs 5.3)
With MBP M5 you get:
1) a higher quality screen with 1000 nits brightness and 120Hz 2) more ports 3) fan that can reduce thermal throttling 4) upto 33% more battery life 5) better speakers 6) better microphones

The MBP 14 or 16 is far better than 15 air.

The only thing holding me back, getting air is the thermal throttling issue. Not sure if it is really an issue (I don't game or edit videos). I am still on intel based macbook pro, which gets hot like anything. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

This is only 16gb and the screen is smaller. It's a base model…it's not a real pro machine

Thats a base pro. It has Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), this air is the one that has wifi 7. That pro is junk..
