I could buy a different laptop, but then I’d have to use Linux or Windows, which are not great experiences on mobile devices.

I could buy a different laptop and get a quarter of the battery life, because ARM and the M-Series chips are incredibly power efficient.

I could buy a different laptop but then it wouldn’t work with my phone, tablet, TVs, AirPods, etc, again, making it not worth it.

Complain about Apple all you want, but their hardware and overall UX aren't even close to being matched by other manufacturers.

From my brief stint with pop os on my laptop I'm having a hard time seeing the difference with a MacBook for daily things. Things just work.

Battery life. I worked an entire day - 8 hours - on my M1 Pro unplugged. You simply can't get that with anything but Apple silicon.
