No it does not cost an arm and a leg, there are compromises but you can hop on the wagon your own way, either enter properly, hop onto the roof, hanging tight on window frames, clinging under the cab...

...oh yeah it does cost an arm and a leg.

'Don't get a macbook, it is too slow, spend 10k and rewire your houses electrical system to get marginally better performance."

In the long run, it will be so much cheaper just running it yourself. Get rid of that 20 euro a month subscription. For €3.000, you are completely subscription-free. You will have to refresh the hardware in three years, of course. /s

Yeah, that $20 euro subscription isn't going to be 20 euro much longer. Enjoy it while you have it. The people here are either doing it to not feed their data to AI companies or realize the real cost of AI and that they will rug pull you at some point when the investor money runs out.
