Hackintosh makes sense if you require to run Apple software to do something, e.g Xcode for iOS development since you cannot develop, build and publish easily without it. I am not sure if Final Cut or Logic or whatever else adjacent is still an industry standard. I'd think Da Vinci Resolve (which is even on Linux) and FL / Ableton are kings nowadays.

For a brief moment of time in 2020s it was easier to just buy a Mac Mini M2/M4 than bother with a Hackintosh but now with the hardware prices on the rise you have to consider it instead of it being a no-brainer.

True. Also plenty of people using Logic and FCP for whatever reasons (because Resolve is a crufty buggy piece of Electron app, because Ableton's price is multiples of Logic, because they like their workflows etc)
