It's gonna have extremely low volume no matter the pricing (well, I suppose a $1,199 Mac Pro might've had more volume, but that was never in the cards) because a tower computer just isn't something most people buy.
The real argument here is "Apple should replace the Mac mini with a machine whose internals are upgradeable", and it's been clear for a decade and a half that Apple just isn't into that. You want the "xMac", and Apple doesn't want to create it. (And there was clearly a time where they didn't even want to create any tower at all, no matter the price…)
