If they are rip-off prices and bad RAM, then why continue buying them? Doesn't that imply getting ripped off?
When I argued that for the money you shell out for a mac, you could get a machine with 1.5-2x the specs, the constant thing I heard was "yeah, but you can't compare a SoC with a normal laptop/PC". Then came the argument about RAM not mattering, CPU speed not mattering, and so on. It would be cheaper for companies to give devs linux machines than macs, but they don't want to hear it because macs are now the table tennis tables, pool tables, arcade machines, avocado toast, and "we're a family" of companies.
