This is of course nonsense because GPUs in Thunderbolt enclosures work fine.

The problem is more likely that the SoC does not have a sufficiently good PCI-E implementation much like the RPi and other ARM SoCs.

Do they? While eGPUs were a thing for Intel macs, I don’t know if any external GPUs they could be used for graphics with Apple silicon, even in a thunderbolt enclosure.
