I'll upgrade my M1 MBA when they do. I remember my Intel MBP running noticeably hotter when plugged in on one side vs the other, so maybe it's trickier than it seems.

This was a limitation of intel CPU's at the time and required additional thunderbolt controller chips separate from the CPU.

Because the Pro costs more.

With the MagSafe charging port I never worry about it - if the cord runs behind the laptop and I kick it, nothing bad happens.

I mean I get it - it's slightly annoying to need an extra 18" of charging cable length but at the end of the day tradeoffs for a smaller, cheaper, lighter machine have to exist.
