They kinda did? The M1 Air is basically a better version of the 12" skinny Macbook. It's fanless, has a slightly larger screen (13" vs. 12"), and swaps a single USB 3.1 Type-C port for two TB3/USB4 Type-C ports, while knocking $300 off the price and dumping the awful butterfly keyboard. The only downside is that it's a tenth of an inch thicker (0.16"-0.63" vs 0.14"-0.52").
