Do you understand what thermal throttling means? It means your powerful-on-paper computer becomes just as powerful as a much lower priced computer.
And that is also assuming that the rest of the computer is good. Lets not forget the horrendous touchbar, the multitude of bugs in the OS, the lack of ports and hubs that have issues and in some cases end up frying the smc, shoddy external monitor compatibility and so on.
Issues that my much cheaper laptop that is running linux does not have.

Yes. Don't patronize me.
You're, presumably intentionally, missing the point of what I and everyone who has responded to you is saying.
I am going to exit the conversation because it is clear that you're not interested in actually understanding what anyone is trying to explain to you about how people typically communicate with one another.
I'd like to remind you that this conversation was not about how "powerful" a given laptop is, but rather about how people talk about things in relation to one another and how people tend to speak to one another colloquially.
