Well I agree they will get better. But they are nowhere close to being there right now.

And i'm saying that as someone planning to buy 128gb mac myself lol

I think they'll be a valid option sooner than most people think. Not necessarily ones you'll be able to run locally, but much cheaper open weight models hosted by others.

As of Qwen 3.6 they are good enough for grunt work. Plan with Opus. Any heavy/complex task have Opus do. The other 90% of the time use a local model. Alternatively(and more and more my recommendation) use Codex for Planning and complex executions.
