My “desktop” of the last 8 1/2 is an MBP. Perfectly usable, does mail and web and zoom and a couple more things perfectly well. Only 8GB of ram, but Safari seems to become faster and require less resources with each update (Firefox …. Less so) It still received the most recent OS updates. Battery life is not as good at 8yrs - but still has a few hours of juice in it. Overlooking the butterfly keyboard fiasco, Apple makes robust long lived hardware, and software to support it. It’s market does not include the 3% “piecemeal” upgraders. But I suspect in “amount of time component is use” metrics it handily beats the wintel world (and the Android world)
