Mac mini is probably the highest value for money Mac have ever existed in history of Apple. It really should have taken enterprise world by storm.
Except macOS and Apple's team doesn't seems to care about Mac anymore. They could have worked hard and attack the 1.5B Windows PC market and the few hundred millions of Chromebook market.
You are absolutely correct and in the end it’s all about their profits. How often do people change their computers but on the other hand, how many times you can “influence” people into upgrading their phones? Well many..

The base model is great value but the upgrade pricing still throws that out of the window unfortunately. Just doubling the base RAM and SSD capacity doubles the cost of the entire machine, it's as if they're giving the SOTA processor away for free and making all their money on the storage.
I would assume if it didn't take the enterprise world by storm, it would be enough sales for Mac only shops.

Instead it was all iPhone and Services.
In enterprise environments? Quite often on a 3-4 year schedule. Same with servers. (Yes yes, not all companies)

The day XCode is made fully available on iPadOS, you can imagine where it ends.
