Looks like there is a lot of empty space there. Couldn't they have made the M4 Mac Mini even smaller?

The only significant empty PCB space I'm seeing is directly under the SSD slot, about a square inch that may have been necessary to keep empty to provide clearance for components hanging down from the SSD module. Most of the rest of the board appears occupied by heatsink or various shield cans with a black covering.

probably heat issues prevented them from doing that.
