I got a brand new MacBook Air 2020 - and it has macOS Ventura on the board. I also found some videos on youtube about unboxing the same devices, and some users have Monterrey (2021) or Ventura (2022 release) too. Why so? I thought it should come with Big Sure macOS. Should I be worried?
You should not be worried. Typically a recent version of the OS is installed when the machine is built. It is not necessarily the OS current at model release time.
Find out when your machine was built.

Downgrading:
The easiest macOS you can downgrade to is what is on your Mac when it came out of the box --you cannot downgrade any further. This is due to hardware compatibility.
Thank you, guys, for all your responses! I checked the serial number on some special site (BTW, I got bored googling on how to do it as the Check Device Coverage page wants me to activate this mac and tells nothing without it), so it says my MacBook was manufactured in December 2022, and now it's obvious there should be Ventura macOS.

You are welcome
Never Share your Serial Number:
What is this “special site” you speak of? You should never share a Serial Number with anyone whomsoever out there. Doing so, someone knows to whom this item pertains (via IP Address or any other personal info you provided)
my 2021 iMac came with Monterey installed instead of Big Sur. It just means that your computer is built after the original release. All off the original release Macbooks are sold by now I guess
They will be suffering trying to scrap anything interesting or useful about me :-)) I talk about http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html and https://serial-number-decoder.com/
chipmunk has been around for decades.
