I bought my M1 refurbished from Apple, so far zero problems.

I think the GP didn’t mean “in non-new condition”, but rather “from the secondary market, so that you aren’t giving Apple your money.” Getting a refurbished Mac from Apple still involves giving Apple money.

Also, supporting the secondary market, supports the primary market.

Additionally, being seen with Apple hardware supports Apple's legitimacy.
