I get that remote development is a thing some people prefer, and if you have an underpowered machine it can be great to just use it as a thin-client and get all the power and performance you need without running down your battery or spending a fortune on local hardware.
BUT... you're recommending this as a workaround for limitations in expensive "Pro" local development machines, as part of an encouragement to go ahead and buy them.
Why not follow your advice and buy an old refurbed Macbook. Or any 2nd-hand machine of any brand. Or a low-end Chromebook.
To clarify: I'm not saying remote dev is bad, or you shouldn't recommend it. It's just really really weird to do so in this specific context.
