Whether some parts are custom or standard start to lose their meaning in Apple's scale. Probably you're right in the SoC case, reserving that sweet 5nm capacity from TSMC likely costs a lot. But the rest of your list is similar to any Apple device, so it shouldn't factor in the markup difference between these machines and their other products. Even the SoC investment is benefiting the whole product portfolio, even though this version is specific to laptops for now.
