It makes zero sense to compare them to high-end desktop CPUs and GPUs.
Sure It makes zero sense to compare them to high-end desktop or laptops, since it is used in devices with lacking the main attribute of Personal computer - the ability to control it and install OS of your choice.
Therefore it falls into another category like phones, ipads and other toys just with attached keyboard.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted too, probably more than you, probably even attracting sympathetic upvotes for your own comment but... I really cannot express how much I don’t care. I’ve booted multiple OSes for learning, for fun, and for software support when the software wasn’t available for my preferred OS. But I use my computer for work (and some web browsing). Other than games, macOS has all the software I could think to need. I don’t like rebooting anyway. I can’t think of a scenario where I would ever need a device with another OS that wouldn’t be supplied by an employer. Some freedoms are sacrosanct (and if it ever comes to pass that macOS absolutely prevents installing unblessed end-user apps which deal only with public and supported APIs, that would be my deal breaker), but some freedoms seem so abstract and theoretical in their impact that I just can’t give them weight beyond a thought exercise. “You can’t install any other OS besides this one we offer that meets all your needs” is just... hardly even a thing I would even give much thought.
