The late 2020 MacMini which is the current model uses the Apple M1 CPU which is an ARM64 based CPU. The last Mini produced with an Intel chip was the 2018 model. Microsoft does not have a commercial version of Windows publicly available for the ARM64 platform and Bootcamp does not work on the latest MacMinis.

I'm looking at the Apple Store, Mac Mini with Intel Chip, space grey. I'm understanding that this model is still called the 2018 Mac Mini, so that Bootcamp will work with this machine because it still uses the 2018 specs. It comes with Monterey installed because it's the latest OS. My confusion was that I thought Monterey would only be available in M1 machines going forward.
