Further to all of that, over the past few years a number of Apple products with proprietary hardware have had numerous hardware problems that were basically incorrectable, leaving people stranded. I for one experienced that with my macbookpro that has a cheap capacitor in there which renders the nvidia graphics card unusable. Apple never had a fix for it, people just got screwed.
There have been other issues like that, google around. If Apple is going to make a closed system that can basically only be supported, expanded, fixed by them, directly or indirectly, it better be higher quality then what they’ve been doing the past few years and I don’t have a lot of confidence about that.
At the end of the day do we really need thunderbolt 4 and 6k monitor? I don’t think most of us do. More ram yes, more storage yes, faster cpu if possible, why not. And while there are a few power users like us that can always find a way to use power like that, the vast majority of the buying public doesn’t even need as much power as my 2010 macpro.
