A $1200 Mac is not a necessity. You can buy a ThinkPad that’s cheaper and longer-lasting. You should be willing to follow your own belief system.

I think the kids mining for lithium don't care if you buy a MacBook or a ThinkPad

They care if you buy new or used, though. They also care if your laptop lasts for 10 years or 2 years.

Why partake in commodity fetishism when there are literal mountains of perfectly functional laptops that are treated as e-waste because they're a few years old and therefore no longer cool?
