This machine has a 12-core CPU (8 performance and 4 efficiency) instead of the $600 M4 with 10 cores (4 performance and 6 efficiency). That means you get double the performance cores (and two fewer efficiency). You also have a GPU that's more powerful (16 cores versus 10). You also have RAM with more bandwidth (273GB/s versus 120GB/s). This machine also has 3 Thunderbolt 5 ports instead of TB4. This machine can support 3 6K monitors at 60Hz, versus the base machine that does 2 6K monitors (plus a third at 5K). This machine also does DisplayPort 2.1 over USB-C but the base model does not.
If that doesn't provide enough benefit for someone to buy this instead, buy the less expensive machine. This Mini can replace the $2000 Mac Studio for some people.

No need to rush into this -- not some amazing price or anything

All that means that if a game publisher wants to do cross platform support then it takes a huge amount of dev work, testing and cost to get access to what is today a very small gaming audience that does not have access to their games via other means (eg separate gaming computer / laptop / handheld, console or something else).
I believe that Apple helped fund and provide technical assistance for the port for Death Stranding, which is why the native version is available on the App store, but not on Steam. If Apple continues to do this, eventually they might build up a gaming audience on OSX, but Apple has a poor track record for sticking with initiatives like that.
