It is an issue, if you have a budget and you want a fast computer for compiling and so on. Right now I'm having a modern 4GHz i7 with 32 gigabytes of ram, a m.2 SSD and two monitors where the other is a 30" IPS. Having the fastest computer in the office is pretty nice, with a price of a macbook and monitor.

You can install macOS on almost any modern hardwere these days. That's why it is not an issue >Minimal Arch Linux with a minimal desktop and rolling updates. I switched to Arch after Ubuntu 10.04 (or 10.10, I don't really remember when they brought Unity up). And yes - it's much better in this regard, but you still see an update on their main page from time to time that will tell you this and that about some big changes and instructions to handle this. OSX\macOS didn't have anything like that in years now.
