Apple is banking on their current bread and butter iPhone line up, and lesser so on the iPad lineup. Macs are nearly extinct now. Geez, the current Mac Mini 2014 was a lackluster downgrade when it was released four years ago, and it has one foot in the grave now. I really like Apple OS X and hate MS Windows 10, but Apple really needs to improve their offerings of Macs and let us be able to add our own internals like more RAM and bigger HDDs or SSDs, etc. I'm really sick of having to pay Apple a king's ransom just to get 16 GB of RAM and/or a decent sized SSD. The days of shiny new trinkets just doesn't cut it for me, they need to give me computing power at an affordable cost or I'll have no choice but to switch back to that horrible Windows OS at some point. At least you can build your own computers with Windows OS.
The iMacs make it easy to upgrade the memory, you just open the memory hatch and put the new memory in. That's what I did with my iMac. The mac mini is very much a niche market. Apple has never been about joining the race to the bottom and providing the rock bottom cheapest machine out there. They have had that business model for the last 20 years, I'm not sure why you expect them to change now.
