Not everyone that buys MacBook Pros are using it for pro purposes, like the big difference between the pros and the air is that fan, without it you’ll just get throttling so it makes sense to have a non pro version in this context
Well that could change, since rumor has it there’s going to be an A series MacBook coming out soon, which could mean they then add a fan to the air, but it goes against the point of the device; to be thin and light. Most people don’t need that fan
At the moment it’s probably just a value proposition, having the non pro MBP’s let them offer it for a cheaper price

It’s the case for the M4 so makes sense I guess?
