I agree. As things are it seems doubtful that Apple will be able to increase performance very significantly in the coming years unless they make some drastic change that would require a whole lot of new engineering.
Now they have chips that are low power but also not very competitive at any price point so it's not particularly exciting (batteries are cheap...).
On the higher end chips the power consumption advantage isn't as big of a deal as they make it out to be and doesn't matter that much in real world applications (if you run an M2 Max at full power, you gonna get less than 2h of battery life anyway). But they lose hard particularly in 3D (GPU) applications.
The hope with M3 is that they at least figure out how to make GPU somewhat competitive with similarly priced offerings from NVDIA. As is you can buy a mid range windows laptop and get better perf it doesn't look good...
