Time would be a primary reason to not build your own machine, though.

Who says it is my time? You can just buy custom workstations.

OP did. The original comment was about building your own machine for the cost of a Mac studio.

It's not the same kind of time saving. When I'm working on a particular task having a fast machine lets me stay in the flow with good iteration speed. Realistically I only have X ammount of concentrated effort available and that X is < 8h, building a PC doesn't really bite into that time/energy. But if it's a chore for you - you can just buy prebuilt or even rent bare metal.

No need to assemble. There are services for that.
