It's overpriced hardware

Have you seen the M4 benchmarks?

If you're memory bound then sure, you can get way more bang for your buck with Intel/AMD. But for pretty amazing CPU performance I think the "Apple is overpriced" trope isn't really true any more.

It comes and goes... When the original MacBooks came out, especially with the Core 2 Duo, they were actually competitive with other manufacturers... Then the value started to lower until it wasn't competitive anymore.

CPU isn't the only specs I'm looking for, supporting a beefy graphic card for 3d rendering is also a must, at least for me to quickly get renders done, and dollar for dollar, getting a customized computer running windows will take me much farther and faster than any Mac will.

Sure the CPU might be amazing but CPU isn't the only important part of a computer.
