If the M1 mops the floor with everything else, why didn't they put it in the high-end 16-inch MBP too?

It does by performance, but RAM and IO are still very constrained (1 external display on laptops, max 16GB RAM) We'll see. If they replaced all products with an M1 version, they're diluting their pro brand, then un-diluting it when they figure out the pro features?
