Mazda has brilliant engineers when it comes to drive chain and driving characteristics of ICE cars. So yes, EVs are new to them and it's probably true that their first EV is a compliance car in heavily CO2 regulated markets.
However, it does not change, as you point out yourself, that they have built a super cool electric car that drives like an ICE car just much quieter and good looking.
Mazda has not developed a new EV from scratch, but has taken one of their really good models off the shelf and rebuilt it with the help of Honda and Hitatchi. By using the CX-30 as a basis, there are many advantages but of course also some disadvantages, that are mostly discovered by EV owners who consider EVs as a kind of new religion.
But I'm sure Mazda will also release more EVs as soon as they have the capacity. But they are also known to be a bit conservative so they do nothing fast, maybe just apart from the MX30. But they have promised that in 2025 they will launch a dedicated pure-electric platform for its future EVs called the Skyactiv EV Scalable Architecture.
The same mindset as the Hyundai E-GMP platform.
We need to remember that Mazda is a small car manufacturer, so we have to be patient
