Messages NOT syncing

Why don’t my messages sync between my iPhone and my Mac mini? I’ve Tried every recommendation when searching for this issue, and I always end up with the same problems of things not syncing. WHY is this so difficult?

Mac mini, macOS 14.1

Are both devices on the same Apple ID? That non-negotiable requirement is pointed out here:
