Not true. They have three desktop form factors — Mac Mini, iMac and Mac Pro — and three laptop form factors — MacBook Air, 13" MacBook Pro and 16" MacBook pro. And each can be variously customised by CPU, memory, storage, etc. Most of these are updated with 1-2 year cadence.

Of course, it's much easier to make any case if you disregard the most basic facts within the first paragraph.

Um, sure. Those "form factors" are very different...

Using apple marketing as a source of truth does not justify your snark. These "products" are small variations of grift.
