Apple hardware isn't "Rolls Royce". It is not low-cost, but in many segments competetively priced. At worst you can call them BMW. Yes, they keep out of the low price market and for some parts (memory, ssd extensions), they ask for a hefty price. But they are pretty competitive to the upper range of the market. On the other side, the M1 MB Air is actually a cheap laptop considering its performance. And on the big scale, we should be happy that finally the x86 monoculture is coming to an end. I can still remember the times when there were several competing cpu architectures which made for a lot of innovation.
