The point is that there are very few real world workloads that get it to throttle, and even more rarely will it throttle enough to matter. 99% of use cases are not affected.

MacBook Pro, by Apple's pro definition aims at creative professional which tends to use GPU a lot more. Which means they are much more likely to be throttled by TDP limitation in a MacBook Air.

There are also a lot of other use cases where GPU or NPU are important.

This.

As I wrote in another comment, I produce video news.

My M1 MacBook Pro is a beast of a machine, but I work it to the point of full-blast fans every day.
