You are moving the goalposts. So the high end version of the laptop is “pro” but the cheaper one isn’t? Doesn’t this follow for other similar ultra books?

Why does a computer have to be cheap-ish to be “pro”?

Because it carries the "Pro" label. Why not just call it Macbook then? Why release what is essentially 2 products under one label, confusing consumers. It's predatory because Apple charges way too much for way too little when it comes to the Intel Gen8 models of the 2020 MBP.
