Why is there no Newest Compatible OS listed for the late 2012 Mac mini ?

Reading a list of Big Sur Compatible Mac minis on your support page and the " Late 2012 Mac Mini" does not have a latest recommended OS.


So my question is WHY.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

The latest recommended OS for a 2012 Mac Mini is Catalina. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210222


Apple does not recommend (and does not support) running Big Sur on any 2012 hardware.
