Apple does not make low-end laptops, they are made specifically for the high-end of the usage spectrum. Yes, some non-power users will buy more computer than they need (on the other hand, it will have a longer useful lifespan than the cr*p you're suggesting they buy), but a power user can't get away with a Chromebook or an underpowered laptop.
Your pitiful Apple super-ego is duly noted. To repeat: 90% of laptop users do not need to spend $2500. They will get by just as well with a $400 windows laptop. Preach your Apple
brainwashing to someone who is not aware of what the real world computer markets are like.
And in the real world Apple laptops are wildly overpriced for what average computer users need.
