It's being reported that Sony started creation of the pro in the beginning of 2022 for a fall 2024 release so there's nothing stopping Microsoft from creating an elite model at the start of 2023 with a 2025 release date but if it can't release until 2026 then it wouldn't make sense to release it so late in the generation
Adding a third SKU would be horrible for Xbox GS dev pipeline. Which for me, seems the most persuasive reason for Sony to pursue a Pro model.
Its not something that I suspect MS would choose, so its a potential point of differentiation.
