alt Hacker NewsApple could probably sell a machine starting at $10,000 if they architected it as the sole place one’s Private Cloud Compute [1] ran.
It would need a path to a $2,500 machine, I think. But this is a niche I don’t think another consumer-facing brand could do like Apple.

The out-of-stock $6000 M3 Ultra Mac Studios with 800GB+ memory bandwidth are going for $24,000 on eBay, so yes definitely

Very few brands have such a distortion field.

But that would be more for enterprise usage. I cannot imagine a personal computing usage which can justify a 10k machine.

Apples on stage use cases for their hardware and software makes me wonder if they actually use computers over there, or what a "job" at apple entails.
I am unsure that apple themselves understand why their hardware (top end & bottom end) has been so successful, without this understanding leaning into these use cases isn't really going to be possible.
