Two base Mac Minis are cheaper than one Mac Mini with twice the base RAM/SSD

Seems like we might need right-to-upgrade (within reason) to follow right-to-repair.

Apple didn't reduce the price of the 32GB RAM upgrade when they increased the minimum to 16GB. They also haven't reduced the upgrade price since the M1 macs (possibly before then?).

Edit: Actually the M2 Pro 16GB -> 32GB RAM upgrade was $400 [1], and you had to upgrade to the M2 Pro to get access to 32GB, so the M2 Pro, 32GB, 512GB was probably 1299 [2] + 400 = $1699. So upgrading RAM and SSD got you 2.8x the price of the base model.
