It makes sense because that's who's upgrading.

I've got an M1 Air and there's still no really compelling reason to upgrade. MagSafe and a nicer camera don't really justify it, especially when Continuity Camera is better than on the M1 or M4.

I'm in the same boat. My base model M1 air is the longest I've owned a laptop without upgrading. And it's perfectly fine. (and yes it only has 8gb)
In the days before USB-C, MagSafe was great. Tripping on the cable and it snapping off safely was really cool.

These days, it's an anti-feature. I have USB-C for everything, why would I give that up?

You don’t give it up. USB C charging still works just fine.
Maybe I was unclear - the MagSafe cable is still in the box. It's pointless to me, I have USB-C cables all over my house, I'm not using anything else.
