There's something about a fresh new machine that I love and I actually kind of like the setup process. I didn't want to just copy/paste everything from my old machine. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It is definitely something special when you start from fresh. When I was working on Windows, I never used backup tools, I always reinstalled everything from scratch. But now on Mac, the Time Machine works so good that simply the swapping from one to another computer and immediately starting working on the new one without setting up a single thing, that is just incredibly convenient. Or maybe I am just too old :D

This was my first new machine in about 6 years so I just wanted to start fresh. If I was switching machines more frequently for some reason I could see the benefit in automating the process, for sure.
