They're still among the smallest cars in production. It's an amusing narrative to say "MINIs are big now!" but it really doesn't reflect reality. IIRC, the newest Cooper models are actually ever so slightly smaller than the last few.

your second linked article begins "The newest are much larger than they used to be".

the abject state of the USA car industry - that a "mini" is smaller than the even-bigger, also ridiculously over-sized cars on the road - does not change physics. or justify why you feel the need to choose between the terrible options that are the latest models offered by homicidal car manufacturers
