You are correct but with each reply you are deviating from the original question, there's no use to continue. Let's disagree to agree.

I said about OS and software as an example that you are comparing different things (you compare an APPLE mac book pro vs a home made PC without adding the value of what the APPLE brings, software, battery, OS, mobility etc), even if you do not use it, you are paying for it.

PS: I'm not an Apple fan, I think 40% of the price is just for marketing costs, but if the company buys it I would sure pick one for me. There are some perks and features that you couldn't get from a PC with Windows or Linux, it's just the perfect mix for a developer (better ergonomy with a bash shell), but for 10% more productivity and performance you are paying 40% more (random numbers).
