Only the cheapest MacBook get M5, the rest stay with M4 Pro and M4 Max? what's going on with that lineup?

Because there is no M5 Pro and Max yet obviously.

Pro/Max rollout tends to lag behind the 'base' by about 6 months

It used to be a little less 'weird' when the base M-chips were only available in the Air and 13" MBP.
