That's nice if what is available at your price point does what you need. My work (with a lot of sample-based VIs) really does benefit from all of the expandability, modularity and power that a tower can provide, (plus there's my HD Native card). I was close to buying a 2019 MacPro, even though I really don't think the price-performance equation on it is where I would prefer, and then the transition to Mac Silicon was announced, and I figured I'd wait, since "Why invest in the past if the new tools in 5-7 years will be made for the new tech?" So, now I'm waiting for 1) Apple's Silicon Mac Pro, and 2) Avid's support of Apple Silicon, and praying my highly-buffed 2009 cheese grater can hold the line until those 2 companies get that together.

FWIW, I do have a i9 MBP as well, but it has still choked on some of the sessions that I've tried traveling with, and the fan noise is a m*therf***er.
