I'm sure they justify it with a pile of evidence that people are willing to pay that much. Folks here are probably just not the target market (would just use OBS and hack together whatever, or be confused about what value having our face on top of our slides would even have...).

OBS performance on my 2018 model MacBook Air is so horrible that I never use OBS on it.

But I think that is only a temporary problem kind of. And don’t know if Mmhmm would perform any better on it.

The new MacBook Air and Pro models with the M1 chip on the other hand I think from what I have heard make video encoding really fast. Would love to hear from anyone using OBS on one of these models, which machine you have and how OBS has been for you.

Very apt observation, I am quite confused why anyone would want their face on slides!

Because communication is more than just words and voice. Seeing the person that is talking is valuable.
