After years of incremental upgrades to the Airs, a new entry level M5 Air gives you double the RAM, double the storage, and double the CPU and GPU performance of an M1 Air.
replyHopefully used Airs will come up for sale more frequently, as they remain a step up from the Neo.
At double the price.
replySure.
replyUsed M1 Airs are selling for roughly half the price of a new Neo.
I'm in no way Apple fan, but M5 air with 512GB SSD and 32GB RAM costs $1500. Compared to M1 and 256GB and 16GB at $1200.
replyAdjusted for inflation it pretty much the same.
A refurbished M1 16GB RAM 256GB storage MacBook Air sells for $400 right now.

replyWhat's your point?
replyMy M1 Air display just failed on me after 5 and half years of daily 10-16 hours of use. Considered how non repairable some parts in MacBooks are I'd rather recommend people buy more expensive new one. E.g you can find very good offers on new M2 M3 etc.
I wouldn't recommend any hardware, let alone a more expensive version of something, if my experience with it was a catastrophic failure like that in early age.
replywhich seem to be out of stock in any case, so probably not a loss for apple.
