People have been saying this for the last 5 years and will continue saying this for the next 5 years. They make less smaller phones cuz people don't buy them
That will be a side effect of them locking abitrary features behind the bigger and thus more expensive models, if there was feature parity smaller phones would probably still be the norm.
There is simply less space inside smaller phones to add same features and battery as a larger model.
And then they can't justify small model having same, high price as pro versions, so they cut features to go along with reduced price.
