The markets for smaller phones and the larger Pro Max models look like they’re roughly in the same order of magnitude. It doesn’t look like a negligible demand that is not worth serving.

The larger market has 2 phones (Pro and Pro Max) which release each generation, separate from the base model being >6". That one needs to compare a specific subset of a larger model type and say it's somewhere within the same factor of 10 is exactly why Apple stopped making the mini.
The articles are literally about how bad the sales were before Apple stopped making minis. There is no reasonable way to conclude that means they were actually worth serving.
