My apologies, I somehow got the MacBook Air firmly implanted in my thinking. I even went back and compared MacBook Air and MacBook Pro releases. 🤦🏻‍♂️

In that case, all I can speculate is the difference is somewhere deep in the hardware, perhaps in one or more of the support chips. In all probability something, or things, that crossed over from the iPhone/iPad to the Mac. Wasn't it around 2013 when iOS and MacOS development began to be more closely synchronized?
