This is why I got a MacBook (unpopular opinion here)
I only ever have Mac stuff from employers, but it is nice hardware and linux-like enough for me to be happy.
Probably also helps Mac that every windows machines provided by an employer is some random HP buttbook that looks and preforms like it could be from 2021 or 2012, who knows
Macs are not really what I think of when reading "middle of the road linux"
I interpreted "middle of the road" as doing nothing special, just normal tasks done a normal way and therefore hoping everything just works so you can focus on work
