Apple is the exclusive provider of both the software and hardware. They have a significant amount of power, and it’s important they use it responsibly. I would hope Mac users would be more vocal about expressing their dissatisfaction when we feel taken advantage of instead of acting as enablers. We have nowhere else to go as switching platforms is a massive burden. It wasn’t too long ago that Apple were on the verge of bankruptcy, and it seems they may have forgotten that period.
Being vocal does nothing, voting with your wallet does. Apple customers consistently vote for price increases with their wallet and they are consistently willing to pay whatever the cost is.
I’ve refrained from upgrading my Intel MacBook Pro, and the M3 Max seems like the perfect opportunity. However, I struggle to overlook the constraints Apple imposes on their devices. It feels like they have little regard for their customers.

Could always return, we are on the cusp of a new computing paradigm, if Apple doesn’t make it, then they’ll be in the poop.
