I don't think price is the main issue for most people in tech

For many people in tech price of the new MacBook is greater than monthly net salary.

+ 1. to get a usable MBP spec (i.e. at least 1TB disk and 24GB RAM) you’re looking at a 2,689€ price tag here in Germany. Not an issue if it’s company provided, but outside, this is more than two months worth of rent and a substantial part of a post tax income of a software engineer in Germany.

The equivalent Dell Precision laptop is about the same price. A laptop lasts for several years so thats only a few hundred euros per year.

This comment only applies to tech people working in the US, and mostly California.
