I‘m from the south and you can get it basically at every butcher shop where I live. It not called Mett though, it’s usually called “BratwurstgehĂ€ck”

It’s called Handwerker-Brötchen at my local bakery. (North Germany.)

I occasionally eat Mettbrötchen at a local bakery chain in the Stuttgart area.

BratwurstgehÀck is not the same thing as Mett. Mett is typically only seasoned with salt and pepper while "BratwurstgehÀck" is seasoned to taste like... Bratwurst (which makes sense because it literally is the raw Bratwurst).

It's both raw pork and they taste kind of similar but they're not exactly the same.

I'm also from the South (lived in both Lower Frankonia as as well as Upper Bavaria) and you will not find BratwurstgehÀck everywhere either.

Some butchers will have it, most won't. It's just not as popular in the South and you have to sell it the same day you make it so it makes little sense to have this ready-made. Especially when you can make it on-demand.

Any proper butcher will just make it for you if you order it. It's not difficult to make, it's just minced pork with seasoning.

It's just a different type of Mett then. Just like not all Mett is Zwiebelmett etc..
