There was a dark time in Apple's lineup (2015-2020) when they ran hot, the keyboard was widely considered terrible, battery time was unimpressive, and the lack of ports forced everyone to carry half a dozen dongles everywhere... These times are gone.

Oh true, Macbooks do seem expensive, until you consider actual value. If "an actual computer" is the primary tool of your trade, I'm 100% convinced it's good ROI to invest in your own comfort/productivity/peace of mind.
