If you dont think the change from two 128gb chips to one 256gb chip is a big deal go watch MaxTech videos on Youtube.
Apple is screwing their customers all for the sake of saving $2.

If you do more than one thing at a time (yeah even having a browser open while doing something else counts) then performance craters to half the speed of the M1 model.

Price hike, slower performance, less battery life.
Apple shouldnt even be selling this but they know people will blindly buy it.

Seriously... They should just make 512GB the base model but apple has always made storage a high margin differentiator. If they moved them all to 512GB they eliminate the performance hit((2x256GB new NAND die) and also justify the higher price for the M2 vs M1 air, which otherwise is identical.

Apple should make a car, because this is straight from the auto business!

If Apple was in a hardscrabble heavy-industry, and saving that $2 meant being in business tomorrow, I might forgive it.

But for someone with that kind of balance sheet, cutting corners just because they can? Zero excuse. If I wanted compromises I'd buy a PC.
