Probably because the M1/M2 are kings of the roost as far as consumer hardware goes. No consumer ARM chip comes close, and Intel needs 3-4x more power draw just to match Apple on performance.

The M1 is the stick by which all new ARM chips are going to be measured for a while.

The M1 Max is arguably price competitive with Intel 12900K, at half the performance and 1/6 wattage (at full load).

The M1 Ultra is twice the price, closer in performance, for 1/3 wattage.
