As a Mac user, macs are not luxury devices. They are a little more expensive for a vastly (in my opinion) more coherent and Unix-y experience, in comparison to Windows machines. In reality I spent a few hundred more on a computer that I’ve used going on 5 years now, recouping the extra cost with a few more hours of freelance work.

If any software I use suddenly charged more for Mac than Windows, I would use a different product immediately.
