Those are totally fair trade-offs. The problem is that often they seem to continue to exist at or above the thousand dollar plus price point.

Because usually when they do that you get better performance per dollar. I had a $1000 gaming laptop in 2016. The CPU was the same as the $2400 2016 15" MacBook Pro, it had a faster GPU, came with same amount of faster RAM too. Did it flex? Yes of course. It's still trade-offs even above $1000.
