You got my upvote because I have a similar experience - still using my 2014 MacBook Pro.
However, I also agree with the other take I’m seeing in these comments: the current prices do seem disproportionately high (at least in the EU).
I feel I have to go back about 25 years to see the same level of expense for high-end electronics. I genuinely thought we were past that era of rarefied ‘professional’ hardware.
And as others have also pointed out, adding RAM or disk capacity is ridiculously expensive.
