Yes, but for inference. 45k is so far out of the budget of a professional unless you earn ridiculous money and have no dependents.
Absolutely, but not under the control of Apple.
If I had the capital I’d make an household inference appliance.

No peripherals except Ethernet, integrated compute (cpu+gpu+mem) and secondary storage (+mobo, psu). No accoutrements, just the minimum amount of hardware to run a model as a utility.

Even the appliance faceplate would be a display showing stats like an old HiFi stereo.

Edit: something like a series of modules consisting of a RISC-V CPU + Vortex GPGPU + memory

Careful now, that sounds like socialism!
The good ones aren't good for long, either turned or pushed out.
Trillions used for the GND is debt but trillions sunk into tax cuts for the top 1% is just good economics.

Sorry Comrade, that would be socialism.
The question you have to ask is whether or not a "booth babe" would choose such work over others if they had a choice and not merely because it pays the bills.
