Except what they didn't tell you was that the software was not optimized and did not work correctly for the M1 and you had to wait it to be ready; especially in the case for developers.

That means, users (especially pro users / developers) lost months of productivity and had to wait for a year for the software to catch up with the hardware.

In that time-frame, you might as well have waited and bought an M2 or above. Nice try though.
