Summing up counter arguments.
1) There is no need.
2) People need only read manual.
3) Faster airspeed (more tilt & higher rpms) will run battery down quicker.
4) Idea of changing RTH to allow Sport mode capability hasn't been proven to save Mavic Minis.
1) There is a need when one considers Mavic Mini's RTH is limited to less than average wind speeds and is less than Mavc Pro, Mavic Air, and Mavic 2. Along with Mavic Mini's being lost due to it being restricted to Normal mode, instead of Sports mode.
2) Manual is less than clear with its statements on wind. Mavic Mini's flight speeds needed to be in terms DJI's targeted buyer could relate too. And as some have previously stated DJI's manuals have in some cases conflicted. Then there is reality, some hobbist pilots of Mavic Pro, Mavic Air, and Mavic 2 don't fully read the manual or have trouble with DJI's writing of manuals.
3) How signicant faster run down of battery would be is open to debate. One thing is for sure - Mavic Mini fighting a head wind and making no progress or loosing ground, is going to run out of battery power, and never return to home.
4) A Catch-22 counter argument. You got to prove it will save Mavic Minis, before we (on counter side) will entertain possibilty of changing Mavic Mini's RTH capabilites to fight wind. Never mind, you can't test possibility of saving Mavic Minis, cause capability is not there, and changes required are not allowed. Put this kind of non-think, right up there with you can't borrow a sailing ship, cause you will sail off edge of Earth.
