If you compare a jump between Intel and M1 and then numbers for newer generation I think they validate the desire to have a newer machine. It's not about having a new shiny object, but a tool that improves work. You only have one life and those seconds and minutes wasted on waiting on things add up.
This is especially important for neurodivergent people, with conditions like ADD. Even waiting few seconds less for something to finish can have an impact - it may get the result just before one completely moved their train on thought on different tracks.
I wouldn't like to work for an employer with such a patronising and nonchalant view of equipment.
Your comment is actually toxic.
