Is there a Tesla that lasted 20 years and after 500 thousand Kms is still functioning with little or no maintenance?
Switching to Apple has a cost, switching to Apple with Apple silicon has an even higher cost.
It all depends what you use your computer for, if you buy a Tesla you probably don't depend on your car, people buying entry level hw are people who don't need something fancy, they need a tool and good enough it's enough.
To reverse your analogy, if they have the same price, I take a computer that I can upgrade and actually own over an Apple
