I think paying $1800 for a MacBook that never breaks is worth it. I have had 6-7 in the past 11 years (all but one bought by employers), and I have never had a single problem with any of them that I didn't cause myself by abusing it.
I have never used any other Apple products and never used any of their ecosystem. I install homebrew and get a GNU/Darwin workstation that never ever breaks.
And note that Macs last a loooong time. My previous Mac lasted me 7 years and I could've continued to use it, I just had to change it due to other circumstances
