How does any of this detract from the absurdity that no MacBook Pro with the mainline M1/M2/M3 chips has been able to natively drive two external screens?

Being able to use two external screens is practically an expectation of any laptop at this point. I can understand the OP's point that this is ridiculous.

You're just able to buy a MacBook Pro with a non-pro CPU. This capability is definitely primarily for market segmentation (the power drain isn't a realistic argument in this scenario, as the user will almost always have power available when plugged into a display)

That doesn't strike you as misleading?

Nothing strikes me as misleading, because everything is misleading in today's world.
