IMO I think the reason why they didn't release the M1 Pro mini is because they didn't want to cannibalize their mac studio release. The M1 mini chassis has a ton of empty space, and the m1 pro is easily cooled by that space and is already cooled fine by the tiny macbook pro coolers, which also means an M1 Max mini would've worked fine also. IMO the M1 Max studio body is unnecessary too, it's only really needed for the M1 Ultra, which would lead to barely anyone buying the mac studio form factor.
