Surely if you consider apple hardware you don't care about performance, price or supporting an ecosystem that underpins the very essence of you are trying to do.

Buying mac hardware for a linux workstation is madness.

I really would like someone else to put out something competitive in that case, I’m rooting for them but haven’t seen it yet.

For a workstation there are tons of options? I'd argue tha mac studio is a very weak offering for that usecase.

I would argue there are zero options in x86 land that will give you the mac studio form factor (tiny, stylish, quiet) with that level of performance. PC workstations in that class are noisy big beasts. For some people how it looks is part of the set of requirements, and it is not “madness” to also care about that.

Noisy beasts... Hyperbole much?

But yes, if by workstation you mean shiny then sure!
