I agree, i also want to add that bad financial decisions are not professional (buying over-priced hardware) but i suppose you don’t care if the salary is high soo
Except every single MacBook you can buy right now (directly, from Apple, not second hand) directly beats pretty much every other device in its price range - unless you go super crazy with the specs and want to do 128GB RAM with an M5 Max and 8TB storage.
I’ve been diehard anti-Apple for anything but their mobile devices (iPhone, ipad) for most of my life. Overpriced, underpowered. Now I own a MacBook Pro M4 and I just can’t get over how good it is. What a turnaround their change to Apple Silicone has made, it’s actually wild to me.
MacBooks, specifically, are still expensive but actually value for money now.
Macs are excellent dev machines, especially if your company buys them for you. 3/4 of my past jobs have provided Macbooks rather than Windows laptops and I don’t plan on going back unless I’m allowed to install Linux
Having a Mac laptop at work means I can use the same dotfiles between it and my personal CachyOS desktoo

So it’s hardly overpriced.
The build quality is excellent in my experience. I can justify spending more if it lasts and my previous MBP made it a decade!

How about getting the people who pay you to buy you over-priced hardware?

The main mistake was even replying after hours.
If you can achieve the objectives in the desired deadline without attending 4 million zoom meetings, were the zoom meetings ever really needed?
