I know it's weird but macOS is the main reason I decided to stick with the MacBook Pro (and laziness). I also think Apple used to build more solid computers. I would do away with the touchbar, the trackpad is still great, same for the internal hardware. My computer overall has an annoying bug which is that it often doesn't recover from sleep mode but I don't really have time to figure out if it's an inherent bug or if it's because I restored from a Time machine backup or anything. I had this from day one. My hope this will last eight years like the previous one is dimmer but once I figure out this bug (which is likely due to software) I'll be happy enough.
My "lock-in" effect is a combination of ease of use, dislike of Windows 10 and lack of intention of having to fiddle with Linux based OS for software I know that only works on the two main commercial OSes. Some people have separate hardware for these purposes.
I'm okay with one computer that gets out of the way and lets me wear the hat of the novice user if I want to or develop through it when I want to.
There's a price tag and not a low one on this, any other choice is also perfectly fine. The point is to do something through your computer, unless working the computer is your goal.
Hope it makes sense.
