I would disagree about Apple having a "rich docking ecosystem".
Apple might be the only major manufacturer to not provide their own docking solution that work extremely well, beyond trying to do it with a display.
As soon as the "pro" moniker is used, 2, if not 3 monitors are completely normal. Extra wide monitors do not cut it. 3 24" 2k monitors at 2560x1440 can be far preferable to a single ultrawie that barely provides 2 monitors worth of pixels in the same space.
Lenovo, HP, Dell, Microsoft, all have it nailed. Used almost all of them before Apple.
