I really don't see how they're much worse than the average in their industry for almost any of those. Mac Mini, Studio, and Pro all want an external monitor, and that's essentially the same product lines any other company would sell an external monitor on. With the iMac being a smaller part of the line, they're maybe even more in line with the rest of the competition on monitors. I literally own a Framework. I care about this stuff in general, but it's not like they're making equal or worse products. What Apple is getting out of their M# processor lines is insane. Honestly, it's questionable if my modular laptop is better for the environment with how much more power I have to spend charging it vs. most of Apple's options, given that I've generally kept using my laptops for 5-7 years at least. I've thrown away way more e-waste on my fully modular external monitor Windows/Linux desktop than I've thrown away Apple products over the years. Modular essentially means "throw away some of your parts regularly". What else am I supposed to do with a 6 year old CPU and Motherboard? I could run it as a server, but I don't need to consume that power for anything really, so it just sits in a closet for years until I throw it out. Anecdotally, I was between buying a M1 Macbook Air and a Framework 2 years ago. I'm already curious about upgrading my Framework to the new AMD mainboard/CPU set. I can almost promise you if I'd bought the M1 Air, I wouldn't even be considering an upgrade for another 2-3 years. Repair/upgradeability also makes it way easier to impulsively generate e-waste. Because you keep editing in more stuff - I'm really not sure I can blame them on the "making new hardware terminology" line. It really doesn't seem like it's so you can't compare it. There's plenty of benchmarks comparing it. They clearly went to ARM because it got them a ton of compute power on very little power. Yes, it can't compare to an old Intel chip the same way, but there's plenty of folks pursuing this line, and it seems like it's been well worthwhile.
