Yeah I think you're right, I agree that the real world impact probably won't be that dramatic. Most of us are coding in high level languages (JS, PHP and so on) anyway, so basically you're completely insulated from whatever bare metal it's running on.
Regarding Macs (or any Apple product for that matter), yes you're right that they're ridiculously expensive.
I'll just use my Mac as long as it's alive and functioning, but when I need to replace it I'm 99% sure that it will be just any laptop or PC preferably with Linux.

well I do tasks related to media like video rendering at home sometimes cuz I like it. I can ensure a 2000+€ macbook pro performs worse than a 600-650€ huawei and being able to use Linux on it is a plus/must (i'm playing with windows + WSL2 those days, I'll need to clean install windows on my desktop for getting it on all my computers).
By the other hand, people that work on OS applications don't really need to throw instructions to the CPU or similar, allocate memory as max when using C or C++, but you'll use some like .Net or mac equivalent for it, which provides an API to deal with the things brainless.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
