I’m a little confused by your post. The m1 support 2 video monitors (1 built in or not) and 1 up to 6k. The m1 even as great as it is, is still only the entry level in Apple silicon for macs. It seems the m1 does not conform to the spec in the number of outputs, hence can’t label it as such. All other specs appearing to have been met.The video talks about how Apple has always done the "right thing" with Thunderbolt on the Mac. Right up until the M1. The M1 systems can't be Thunderbolt v4 certified because they don't pass the 4K video out on every port test. The Mini M1 goes backwards in video out support. That's way Apple uses the phrasing "Thunderbolt 3 /USB4".
The bigger variants of M1 ( e.g., something like a "M1X" ) probably will have a less gimped GPU output stream and perhaps will get TBv4 certification. But Apple's track record of always doing the right thing.... got superseded by their desire to probably share the M1 die with the A14X (and iPad Pro).
One significatn use case for needing more TB ports is that were going to have to toss one away to hook up one or two mainstream "Video Monitor" ( with no TB ports). That works here only with a single monitor. ( you would loose a "data access' TB port on host system. )
