Do you know many people that used to do this with macOS and are now using Windows ?
Like, oh boy, I tried, but after 4 months I ended up back with macOS.
So I've seen Mac users who work in these areas get sick of the issues and limitations and switch to Win 10 + sometimes WSL.
The people remaining with Macs are executive suite (who go for iPad pros) and account execs who do sales where it looks cool to go pull out a Mac. However even there people are increasingly looking dumb when they want to present something and go on 5 min dongle troubleshooting hunt because Mac killed HDMI and VGA ports and start their presentation appearing incompetent. Sometimes over web screen shares, only the desktop shows and not the applications.
By refusing to focus on hardware/software quality and power users, Apple has lost the game on high end.
This is what I do and works perfectly. My dev machines are 82 cores xeon platinums with Terabytes of RAM or nodes with 8 V100 GPUs attached, etc.
I don't know of any workstation, much less laptop, that could be a replacement for any of that.
For the stuff I do on the laptop itself (Word/Powerpoint/Outlook, web browsing, using an editor to edit files remotely, etc.), more power wouldn't hurt, but my macbook is a macbook air 2013... so I can't imagine that a 2020 macbook would be underpowered.
