The screen on MB Air can not compete with the one on MB pro.

Yep, that's why this M6 Pro and its ancestors probably exists. It's for people whose work can run on MacBook Air specs but with the superior screen, battery, speakers, and ports.

MBPs also have a fan, so they’re less prone to thermal throttling causing performance degradation.

Well, if the thesis is that we're running the heavy work on a remote server that's less of an issue.

True. I still think it is good. My dream is for 120Hz on a future Air model. I took it as a positive sign they brought 120Hz to the non-Pro iPhones with the models last year. I can dream, I guess. And yes, I know MBP screen has benefits other than the refresh rate.
