sure, then how do you explain the continuous drama made here on HN and on Reddit about the faulty Keyboard (for 3 years), the speakers that "pop" (fresh on MBP 16") and thermal throttling?

1K extra doesn't make the product "pro" or "premium", especially if you don't allow people to upgrade it after the Warranty is expired (RAM and Disk soldered, nice).

FWIW, the popping speakers are a software related issue, many users who updated to a recent version of Catalina have reported the issue has been fixed for them. Also, thermal throttling has not really been an issue with the new 16" MBP. It can sustain well over base clock for indefinite periods it seems while still staying under the power budget.
