Can you imagine a Windows based PC lasting half of that time?
Outside of the silky OS and tight Linux coupling, it has been a joy to buy computers (albeit at a premium) that last more than 2 years.
I still have a 2009 iMac that is perfectly fine for everything except iOS development (due to an Xcode OS minimum) and a 2015 MBP for that. While my new work 16 MBP is a performance beast compared to the 2015 MBP, I can certainly be productive and expect to be for years to come with my personal kit.
