The video memory of a modern computer is much more than 3MB of RAM. Why wouldn’t Apple rather you spend more on an iPad Pro + keyboard than a MacBook Air?

Different times, but software is exponentially more bloated now. Hardware giveth, software taketh away.

You have a good point. My guess is they'd rather you'd buy both. You can get an older M1 or M2 MacBook Air for cheaper than an iPad Pro + keyboard.
