Definitely seems low compared to last year's model. But it's acceptable to me. As a comparison, here's my 2019 4tb mbp 15":

If we go by this review:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Air-2018-i5-256-GB-Laptop-Review.357481.0.html
Current MBA (7 W) = replacement for rMB, but with better capability to handle bursty loads with the fan rather than heat pipe
Current base 2TB3 MBP (15 W) = replacement for 2017 and earlier MBA
Current 4TB3 MBP = The real pro
The 2017 MBA's processor is from even earlier. I think they only updated the SSD during that iteration.
